- Now wipe microwave oven with towel or dry sponge
- Rub with towel or sponge over stain (if any) and it will remove very easily

In some modern microwave oven, there is a preset option (you do not need to set temperature and time) to clean microwave. You just need to keep bowl inside it with lemon and water and press that button.
Strong odor inside microwave oven is another critical problem because such strong odor can spread in other food too. So there is also a button for deodorizing microwave in some microwave oven. Though when you are cleaning it with lemon, then lemon’s strong odor will kill any odor inside it to some extent. If odor is too strong then you can add little more lemon juice otherwise lemon juice will definitely kill any kind of odor.
