cleaning microwave can be a drag.Getting the dried food off with a sponge is enough to drive anyone crazy!especially when you had a hard day.For a safe and easy method ,simply zap a bowl of lemon juice and water for five minutes,then let the microwave cool before wiping down the walls.

Great suggestion! I ususally just put plain water in there but adding lemon sounds like a much better idea. I'll be sure to give that a try!

Using baking soda is the best way to get a micro clean. I suppose the lemon will also help and deodorise the micro. I will definitely try with the lemon. Seems like a good idea. Thanks.

Yes, I love it. The lemon doesn't really help the cleaning it off part, but deoderizes the microwave to get out any bad smells. Some people add baking soda for that purpose.

The usual cleaning mixture for me is damp sponge/cloth and baking soda.That's a nice idea.....it leaves the microwave smelling good.I'll try that this weekend.thanks for the post my friend.

I use a similar method, but I put a bowl of vinegar and water in the microwave instead.

I've honestly never thought about cleaning my microwave; it never gets dirty. The best way to avoid having to take the time to clean the microwave is to cover your food with plastic wrap or a paper towel. It prevents the food from getting too hot and splattering all over inside. However, do not put aluminum foil into the microwave because it could become a fire hazard.
