Today's Small Thing is Melissa's (from Seven Matters) favorite cleaning tip! She recently wrote on my Facebook wall that she is still using it, several years after I first posted it. Photo from
Today's task will just take a minute! Well, maybe two.
All you have to do today is clean your microwave! I know this sounds hard, but it's really not.
To make it easy, boil a bowl of water for 1-2 minutes to steam it up in there and loosen the exploded food from the sides. You could even use a 50/50 mixture of water/vinegar if you like. Then spray the inside with all-purpose cleaner or vinegar and wipe with a paper towel. I like to take the class tray out and wash it in soapy water to remove the petrified cheese etc. Wipe down the outside and Voila!
Sparkling! Your food will taste better and your microwave will run more efficiently without all the goo. My microwave NEEDS this today....can you say "reheated baked beans?" 'Nuff said.
POINTS: 30 for wiping out the inside and outside
BONUS: 20 for washing the glass tray if you have one.
