I try to stay on top of my microwave and when I heat things up I usually use a cover of some sort. However sometimes I end up with a dirty microwave in need of cleaning! I found this method of cleaning my microwave to be very easy. It’s a simple as microwaving a cup of water for about three minutes. You may have to do it a little longer, depending on your microwave. When it’s done, the inside of your microwave should be nice and steamy. Let sit and cool for a few minutes before opening the door. Then just wipe the inside off with a rag and you will easily wipe away all the grime. If it doesn’t work the first time repeat until the inside of the microwave is clean and shiny.
If you want this to smell nice you can add all sorts of things to the water before you boil it. Place inside a four cup microwavable container that contains 1 cup of water a chopped up lemon, lime or orange. You can also add several tablespoons of vinegar.
If the window is greasy you can clean it with a mixture of half vinegar and half water and then dry. End result – a clean microwave without using chemicals!
