Although we don’t want to add one more thing on your to-do list this year, you might want to clean your microwave oven. Microwaves can easily become a mess during the Holidays, but with a little effort, you can quickly clean it without using any chemicals.
The first thing you’ll want to do is remove the glass tray of your microwave and put it on the top rack of your dishwasher if you have one, or wash it by hand using hot soapy water. Place it back in your microwave once it’s clean.
Secondly, fill a microwave-safe bowl or Pyrex measuring cup with water. If you have any lemon sitting around, throw a few wedges in for some extra freshness. Place in the center of your microwave.
Next, run your microwave on high for 3-5 minutes, or until you see steam start to form on the inside. Once the time is up, allow the steam to sit inside the microwave for about 15 minutes. This will help loosen up any caked-on grime and give the bowl time to cool down too.
Lastly, open your microwave. Carefully dampen a microfiber cloth with your water mixture and use it to wipe down the inside of the machine. After you’ve done all this, your microwave should be spotless once more.
