She showed how her filter is completely filthy and wrote: "This is a reminder that you have a charcoal filter in the microwave. You are supposed to replace it every six months. So right now I am waiting for my new filter to arrive and in the meantime I will clean the old one."

This video where the woman takes out the filthy filter and cleans it has garnered 2.2 million views and over two thousand comments from people, most of whom admitted that they were not even aware that they had a micro-filter. "I have been using the microwave for over 30 years and I never even knew there was a filter that needed to be cleaned," one respondent wrote.

But do all microwaves have a filter? This is exactly what one of the viewers asked and the expert replied that most of the devices have - just need to open and check. It is just important to remember that before any microwave cleaning operation, it is mandatory to disconnect it from the electricity and it is highly advisable to review the operating manual that you received with the appliance to know if your appliance has a filter at all and what is the correct way to clean it.

The hunker.com website wrote that the experts at Home Depot explain that the charcoal filter helps to remove bad odors from the air circulation inside the microwave, which can impair your ability to enjoy delicious food.

In addition, the filter helps the microwave to operate efficiently.

They claim that if you do not clean the microwave's charcoal filter often enough, it causes the appliance to strain more at work, which can cause it to wear out faster.

That is why they say it is important to remove and clean the filter from time to time.

Most microwave manufacturers offer alternative charcoal filters for purchase in case the filter is too old or cannot be easily cleaned.

They recommend contacting the manufacturer for assistance in purchasing such a part or contact a home maintenance store - most will have charcoal filters specific to certain microwave models.
