Cleaning food splatters from the sides, bottom and top of your microwave doesn't have to be a tiring job requiring your elbow grease. There's a simple and healthier way to clean your microwave without using harsh chemicals and having to scrub away at caked on food particles. With just some water, lemon juice and heat, the food particles will easily wipe clean. Here's how you do it:
Mix 2 tablespoons of lemon juice (I prefer fresh lemon juice) and 2 cups of water in a microwave safe bowl (I use my large Pyrex measuring cup). Microwave on HIGH for one to two minutes. Once microwave stops, use a cloth and the slightly cooled mixture to wipe down the inside of your microwave. The steam created by the water in the bowl will make the particles easier to wipe away.
This is a natural and SAFE way to clean your microwave, plus the lemons leave a nice fresh scent. Remember, if you use chemicals to clean the interior of your microwave, any residues left inside can come in contact with the foods that you heat or reheat.
