DIY: Microwave “Easy Clean”

I hate cleaning my microwave. That is probably why it gets way dirtier than any microwave should ever be. It’s just such a pain to clean and if you ever read the instructions there is a list of “don’ts”. You can’t spray anything in there, etc. so what’s a girl to do when soap just isn’t cutting it?2 ingredients to the rescue –

Lemons

Water

Really! Here goes! Oh, and you can check the little boxes off to create an easy printable to keep with your recipes or wherever you wish. Once you check everything off, go to print checklist and there you have it – nice and easy.

Lemon Water – Microwave cleaner
Grab a glass bowl
Fill it half full with water
Throw in 4-5 slices of lemon (around 1/2 lemon)
Put in microwave for 2-5 minutes
Get a rag or paper towel and start wiping
Put back in microwave and repeat steps until microwave is clean.
I then pour the hot lemon water over the glass plate (in the sink) and scrub if need be.

Occasionally I still have a few tough spots to scrub but generally it is so much easier and it really doesn’t cost that much.

My shiny clean microwave!
