5. Get the grease out of your microwave filter
Grease and grime impact the silver filter the most because once it’s clogged, the exhaust fan starts either overworking itself or not working that efficiently. Make sure to clean your filter at least once every 3 to 4 weeks. To do that unscrew the filter and soak it in soapy hot water before rinsing it.

6. Reduce germs on the remote controlĀ
The remote control actually has a lot of viruses and bacteria because it comes in contact with so many different hands. Make sure to wipe down the remote control once in a while with a disinfecting wipe, or make an electronics disinfectant by mixing equal parts of vodka and rubbing alcohol.
