I like having a microwave, and do use it. I also like for my microwave to be sparkling clean, at all times! That probably seems laughable I know. But seriously, let's face it when the magic of the microwave is doing it's magic, it can sometimes end up all over the inside. And, if that magic-turned-mess isn't cleaned up right away, well you might know this becomes a major mess! Oh and also, I have found that when you live with others the microwave sometimes mysteriously gets messy too. Got a dirty microwave? When this happens I have a simple solution to clean it to a sparkle quickly.
Use a microwavable cup or bowl filled about 3/4 full with water and then microwave it for about 5 minutes. Let it stand in the closed microwave for a few minutes more, and the steam will loosen up any dried or stuck on foods. Carefully remove the cup of hot water, then use a clean moistened sponge or dishcloth, along with a dab of dish soap to wipe down all of the microwave and any removable parts, such as the turn table tray and the wheel from underneath, or the glass tray bottom. Rinse well, and your done! If some food particles are very stubborn, just try the steps again.
Sparkling clean!...
