For the interior, mix warm soapy water and a mild detergent and use this to clean. Combat tougher stains with a baking soda and water paste, as baking soda acts as a mild abrasive. Use a 1:10 ratio of bleach to water on heavier soiling, like mold or mildew.
Always wipe down the interior, rinse with hot water, and water and dry with a soft cloth. Be sure to keep water out of lights, controls, and any wood facing.
The glass shelf cleaning process is just as important. Remove the shelves and allow them to warm to room temperature before cleaning with detergent and water. Depending on your appliance manufacturer’s recommendations, they can possibly be dishwasher safe glass shelves. This can save time during your appliance cleaning routine.
