Cleaning Your Microwave

Gather Your Supplies

The first thing you want to do when cleaning your microwave is prepare all the necessary supplies. Grab a small microwave-safe bowl and fill it about halfway with warm water. Then add your ingredients. Add two teaspoons of lemon juice or two slices of lemon. Then add three tablespoons of vinegar.

Cook

Place your mixture in the microwave and cook it on high for 3-5 minutes.

Clean

Clean Regularly

Repeat this process at least twice a month to prevent further food buildup in your microwave. You can do it once a week if you’re feeling froggy. But it’s not necessary. Doing this a couple times a month will also make it easier to clean each time you do it. No more tough elbow grease. Learn to clean smarter, not harder.
