A method of treating a contaminated soil for converting the soil to a harmless soil, characterized in that it comprises covering the soil contaminated with a chemical substance having a boiling point of 500ringC or lower with an applicator, and irradiating the contaminated soil with a microwave, to thereby remove the chemical substance from the contaminated soil; and an applicator for use in the method. The method is practically applicable for converting a contaminated soil to a harmless soil in a short time and, in some cases, for converting a large amount of a contaminated soil to a harmless soil on the site at one standing.
