How to clean a microwave

Well if the title of the post didn't have you at the edge of you seat, this post probably won't either, unless you hate cleaning the microwave as much as I do. It's probably one of my most hated chores. You practically have to crawl into the darn thing just to clean all the odd angles and surfaces.

I turned to Pinterest, again, for a solution. The good old mix 1 cup of vinegar + 1 cup of hot water trick. I was expecting a miracle. Steam clean a microwave? Genius!  I set the timer for ten minutes and went to the living room to sing and dance with my two year old daughter. 
Meanwhile the house has a faint smell of vinegar.

The timer went off, and I immediately inhaled a big ol' whiff of hot vinegar. Eeesh. Be careful if you try this experiment. Open the door and stand back while the steam lets out.

It didn't clean the microwave, obviously. All it did was loosen the crusted on mess so I wouldn't have to scrub AS hard. It did an okay job. I'm not sure it's worth using a cup of vinegar for it though. 

B+ Pinterest, B+.....

Until next time.
