Is this how your microwave looks!?

GROSS!

 

This is my microwave and I honestly don’t know how it gets into this disgusting shape.  It just does.  We have kids.  They take their mini-ravioli, their left-overs, their science experiments, and they blow them up in our microwave!  Cleaning the microwave is a pain!  But, I have discovered a way to make it a lot easier!  I’ve seen this life-hack all over pinterest and the net, but I never tried it until a few weeks ago!

All you need to clean your microwave is a lemon, a little bit of white vinegar, and about a cup of water.  Slice up your lemon, put it in a microwave safe bowl, or your glass measuring cup.  Add about a cup or 2 or water, a splash of white vinegar, and set your microwave on high for about 5 minutes.  Give it enough time to boil and steam in your microwave.  The oils in the lemon really work hard to loosen all the stuck on food particles.  After that, carefully remove your bowl, and wipe the microwave down with a warm, damp cloth.  It works!!  Here’s my after pic!
