So I have found a great new way to clean the inside of the microwave. I had heard of the steam trick for cleaning the microwave- but I was dubious ;) Tried it at work this week and it worked amazingly well (and trust me - that was one DIRTY microwave!!!)
So here's what you do:
Fill a microwave safe bowl with 2-4 cups of water (small microwaves will be ok with 2 cups but larger ones would benefit from 4 cups.) If you have lemons in the house, add a half of lemon to the water- this is a great use for lemons that are getting old! Microwave on high until water boils (depending on your microwave this could be anywhere from 3-6 mins.) Leave door shut and let sit for 5 mins. Discard water and lemon.
The steam will loosen dirt on the inside of the microwave and the mess will wipe off with little effort. This will also loosen any spills on the glass tray- but I usually place the glass plate in the dishwasher whenever I have a spill- so that is generally not as much of an issue.
Happy Microwaving!
