Some tips for Cleaning microwaves

- The quickest way to clean a microwave oven is to place a handful of wet paper towels inside and run it on High for 3-5 minutes. You don't need a science lesson to know that the steam from the towels will soften the grime. Once the paper towels cool down, use them to wipe the oven's interior.
-Cut a lemon in two and place on a saucer . Place it in your oven after sprinkling a tablespoon of water on the lemons .Run the microwave on high for one minute .Once the microwave gets steamy , all grime will loosen , wipe away with a wet cloth and add the lemon to garbage disposal to wipe away kitchen odours.
- Place a wet sponge with detergent in the microwave and run on high for a minute.Remove all the loosened grime and you will have a sparkling clean microwave.
