Easy, All Natural Way to Clean Your Microwave

Microwaves. 
Great when they are clean. Super sucky when they aren't. 

No one wants a dirty microwave, but there is also never a line of people waiting at my microwave to clean it - myself included. 

In this post you will see my super easy, all natural way to clean a microwave. 

Here is my microwave. It certainly is NOT at its dirtiest, but it ain't clean either. 

There is ONE product needed to clean your microwave and it is the magical, all powerful:
White Wine Vinegar

​

Fill a microwave safe cup with vinegar and pop it into your microwave. 

​

Nuke that bad boy for 3 minutes and let the steam and vinegar sit in your microwave for 5 minutes afterward. 

​

While you wait, give the outside a little scrub down. 
​

Open the door and remove the plate and little plastic rotator with wheels. 

Scrub all the goo and gunk off of that microwave plate, which should come off pretty easily from the vinegar. 
​

Many times, this little doohicky goes unnoticed, but look at those yucky wheels! 
​

​
Now get to work on the inside. 
I use a paper towel and will keep the hot vinegar on the side to dip into when needed.
You can also use a sponge. 
​
Make sure you get the top really well since that is where literally everything seems to go: straight up. 

Wipe down the sides and bottom, removing any debris from the ghosts of meals past.

Be sure to clean in these little vents on the sides and top as well. 
​

Give the inside of the door a good scrub down.

Replace the plastic plate turner along with the plate and you have yourself a nice, clean microwave until your husband decides to reheat spaghetti.
