At Texas Cleaning Services, we understand that life gets busy, and cleaning the microwave often falls to the bottom of the to-do list. But fear not! With these simple microwave cleaning hacks, you can have your microwave sparkling clean in less than 2 minutes. No more scrubbing for hours or dealing with baked-on food splatters. Let’s get started!
The Lemon Steam Clean
One of the quickest and most effective ways to clean your microwave is by using the natural power of lemons.
What You’ll Need:
1 lemon
1 microwave-safe bowl
Water
Steps:
Fill the microwave-safe bowl with water, about halfway.
Slice the lemon in half and squeeze the juice into the bowl. Drop the lemon halves in as well.
Place the bowl in the microwave and heat it on high for 2 minutes. The lemon-scented steam will loosen any stubborn grime.
Once the microwave beeps, carefully remove the bowl (it may be hot). Wipe down the interior with a damp cloth or sponge. The food residue will wipe away easily, leaving your microwave fresh and clean.
Vinegar and Water Solution
For an even more powerful clean, vinegar is a fantastic option.
What You’ll Need:
1 tablespoon of white vinegar
1 microwave-safe bowl
Water
Steps:
Fill the microwave-safe bowl with about a cup of water and add the tablespoon of white vinegar.
Microwave the bowl on high for 2 minutes. The steam from the vinegar will work its magic on stuck-on food particles.
After the timer goes off, open the microwave and wipe down the inside with a damp cloth. The acidic nature of the vinegar helps break down any grease or grime, making it easy to wipe away.
Baking Soda Paste
If your microwave has some tough spots that need extra attention, baking soda is a gentle abrasive that can help lift stains without scratching surfaces.
What You’ll Need:
Baking soda
Water
Steps:
In a small bowl, mix a few tablespoons of baking soda with just enough water to form a thick paste.
Apply the paste to any stubborn spots inside the microwave.
Let it sit for a minute, then gently scrub with a sponge or cloth. Wipe down the microwave with a clean, damp cloth to remove any residue.
Quick Tip: Microwave-Safe Covers
To prevent messes in the future, use a microwave-safe cover when reheating food. This helps trap splatters, so you won’t have to clean as often!
