For Works-for-Me Wednesday, I’m sharing a tip I learned this Thanksgiving on how to clean your microwave. It’s amazing! No more scrubbing! I will clean my microwave this way for the rest of my life.
I’ve shared this tip several times since then, and like me everyone has responded, “Wow, that’s so simple!”
It’s not original with me. It came to me from my brother’s wife Missy, who learned it from her mom. So thank you, sister-in-law’s Mom!!!!
All you do is grab a glass bowl and fill it up with water. Pop it in the microwave on high for about five minutes. . . or just push “beverage” three times! [When the microwave beeps, ignore your 19-month-old son who echoes the “beeps,” urging you to open the door. You want the condensation to build up on the sides of the microwave.]
After a couple minutes, open the door and simply wipe the entire microwave clean! Anything stuck on it comes right off!
My microwave must be really bad…that trick didn’t work for me recently! We are just going to throw it out and get a new one! We still have the one we bought from Doug when we moved here!
This is exactly how I clean our microwave, but usually ours only requires 3 minutes. Glad you found this tip to share with others. It sure beats placing skeezy chemicals into the microwave!
Wow! Wonderful! Thanks to all.
I’ve found that adding a bit of lemon juice or a slice of lemon to the water also works wonders.
Great tip!!!!
