Almost no scrubbing will be necessary. You can cut a lemon or lime and put in the water before putting in the microwave to makes it smell good, but it is not necessary.

Do not use plastic wrap in the microwave, ditto all plastic containers "deemed" safe to nuke. The plastic breaks down and goes into your food. Use corning ware type bowls, cover with wax paper to prevent splatters.
To clean your microwave, take a bowl of water and had a half cup of lemon juice. Place in microwave for 3 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes or so to loosen the dirt inside and wipe clean. This makes all the dirt and grime come off a lot easier.
