Is it dangerous to leave the microwave open after using it? - Page 3

What’s the best practice?

After using the microwave, it’s a good idea to:

Leave the door open for a few minutes if there’s a lot of steam
Wipe away any condensation with a clean cloth
Close the door completely to maintain hygiene and prevent damage
Remember to clean the interior regularly, since a clean microwave is safer and more efficient

In short, leaving the door open for a brief moment isn’t harmful, but making a habit of it can lead to hygiene problems, mechanical issues, and a shorter lifespan for your appliance.

Use your microwave responsibly and with care — a small change in routine can help it work better and last longer.
