How To Clean Your Microwave
You may have seen different ways to clean your microwave on Pinterest.
I put some spaghetti in the microwave and it went a little crazy, so I decided to put one of the pins I found to the test.
It sure did work! This is one of the easiest ways to clean a microwave!
(1) Pour a cup of water and about a tablespoon of white vinegar in a small bowl.
(2) Heat it in the microwave for five minutes.
(3) Take a paper towel and wipe down the microwave. The stains should come right off!
(4) Take out the microwave plate and wash it in warm, soapy water.
Take a look at my before & after!
How does this work so well? The water turns into steam which dissolves the stains, and the vinegar absorbs the smell.
One of the easiest ways to clean a microwave, am I right?!

Thanks for the tips! Spaghetti always goes crazy and leaves the worst stains in the microwave ;-)
I think I'm going to send this to my husband...do you think he'll get the hint?
This is great Emily! I hadn't heard about this but definitely plan to use this in the future!
We have thrown out the microwave knowing it takes all the nutrients from your food... Glad not to be cleaning this thing anymore.
YEAH!! I was just on Pinterest wondering if these really worked. My husband looks like he did a science experiment in there, and now it's super stuck!! Definitely going to give this a try!
Um, vinegar is pretty much a housewife's dream. It is the best at cleaning everything! I run vinegar and water through my Keurig to clean it!
I absolutely love cleaning my microwave this way!
I gotta try this!!!
Great tip! You can also use 1/2 a lemon :)

It also works if you put lemons in hot water/white vinegar :) That way it leaves a lemon smell too instead of a vinegar one ;)
Love this! I HATE trying to scrub it out at such awkward angles so I'll definitely have to try this. Thanks for the tip.
vinegar is a miracle cleaner
Yep, this is how I used to clean our microwave too. Steam does wonders and keeps you from needing to scrub. Thanks for sharing!
That's why you use a microwave cover or put a paper towel over it. and if and when it does pop it wont go all over your microwave.
This makes perfect sense!! Thanks for sharing.
