I think I read about this idea somewhere but I don’t remember where. It’s a great idea though and really works. But let me back up a minute.
There are, I am sure, some people who keep their microwaves nice and clean. They cover everything they cook and they clean up any mess that is made right away. Yeah, well, that’s not me. As a result my microwave gets a little ugly from time to time. Worse still things are sort of baked on and hard to clean away. Has that ever happened to you? (Probably not to Matt.) Or perhaps you have been forced to use a microwave that was a mess and wanted to clean it out first.
Scrubbing doesn’t really appeal to me. I try to avoid hard work unless it is absolutely necessary. Sometimes I visit CLEANA Commercial Cleaning Sydney site and get help. So that is where the steam cleaning comes in. Fill a microwave safe mug or glass with water and run it for a while. You want to water to boil for a while but its probably not a good thing to boil it all away. Then let the microwave sit for a minute or so.
Now open the microwave and wipe it clean and dry with a paper towel or sponge. Repeat if necessary but generally once is enough. The boiled water becomes steam and pretty much softens every bit of gunk inside the microwave.
This post brought to you because I couldn’t sleep. But it does work. I used it today in fact.
I’ve always heard of 50/50 water and vinegar.
