Fact: my microwave is not that dirty but it still works as a great model to pose in pictures. These three ways to clean your microwave<\/strong> have been floating around blogland and I thought I would join them all together in one super post and let you choose your method. And yes, I buy the super big bottles because I really like lemonade and shiny things.<\/p>\n

\"microwave-cleaning\"<\/p>\n

Method One
\n<\/strong>In a bowl, mix equal parts water and vinegar together. Place said bowl into microwave and zap it for 5 minutes. After the five minutes, let the mixture sit and let the vapors work their magic for an additional 5-10 minutes. Then use the mixture to wipe down the microwave. The vinegar smell will dissipate after it dries. Until then your kitchen may smell like a pickle factory.<\/p>\n

Method Two
\n<\/strong>In a bowl, mix one cup water with a few tablespoons of lemon juice. Rinse and repeat the steps for method one; 5 minute zap, 5 minute cooling, wipe. However, I would take a clean damp cloth for one final wipe to remove any excess lemon juice.<\/p>\n

Method Three
\n<\/strong>Zap a bowl of water for 5 minutes, let it sit so the steam can work, then wipe everything down with a Magic Eraser.<\/p>\n

Now for some words of caution<\/em>. Make sure you actually put the liquid in the bowl before microwaving or you could break your microwave. How do I know? This one time, a child, who shall remain nameless, turned the microwave on without anything in it so it zapped itself. Needless to say, we had to buy a new microwave after that. One more word of caution. Water mixture and bowl will be hot <\/strong>after zapping, please don’t burn yourself. Steam is an indication of very hot stuff and the steam itself is hot too. Don’t ask my left pointer finger how I know this.<\/p>\n

Now that your microwave is clean<\/strong>, keep it that way with these easy tips.  Use a cover when heating up your food; I use a microwavable Tupperware lid over bowls or just already in the container. I rarely heat up food on a plate. There are super cool plate covers you can buy, like this one<\/a> (not an affiliate link, just showing you). Tip number two, heat up your food on the stove or in the oven; it usually tastes better that way. Tip three, when your food explodes all over the microwave, immediately wipe it up. I don’t always do this one; even though I can hear the food exploding, I usually forget by the time it’s done then deem the microwave fine. Tip four, just avoid reheating red pasta in the microwave, even though it’s super delicious.<\/p>\n

Those are my tips and tricks to clean the microwave<\/strong>, which one of these methods is your favorite?<\/p>\n

Happy Cleaning!<\/p>\n
