Microwave cleaner?

Question

Is there a product out there specifically for cleaning the inside of your microwave? They used to have these wipes that you would heat up in the microwave, and then they would magically clean your microwave. I can't find them anywhere, so I'm thinking they don't sell them anymore. I need to clean the splatters and stuck on junk on the inside of my microwave. What's a good product for doing that?

Answer 1

I use two parts vinegar and one  of warm water with  a tbsp of baking soda. IT WORKS.

Answer 2

I boil a cup of water with a couple tablespoons of lemon juice, a couple lemon slices, or a couple tablespoons of vinegar in it. You can heat it just to boiling, 2 or 3 minutes, then let it sit there for 10 minutes. The steam will loosen all the gunk stuck to microwave. Take a clean rag and wipe it out. This is what I always do, and it's never failed me yet. Good luck!

Here's a little trick that my mom taught me. She told me that general every day cleaners aren't good for the inside of your microwave, plus you put FOOD in there do you really wanna risk chemical contamination with something you are putting on your children's plates? So what my mom did was she would fill a measuring cup up with water and boil the c**p outta it in the microwave. The steam that's put off by the water softens all the stuck on food and splatters and when it's done BE VERY CAREFUL REMOVING THE HOT WATER dump it out ( boiling water works well to clean out the kitchen drain and disposale) then take a few paper towles and simply wipe it out. It works like magic with no chemicals to speak of.

Either squeeze half a fresh lemon, or pour a few tablespoons of lemon juice into your wet kitchen sponge.  Place it in the center of the microwave on a plate.  Heat the sponge for 90 seconds.  Pull the plate out (careful it is HOT) and wipe your microwave out with a damp cloth... Not only will you un-stick the food inside, you will also disinfect your sponge!!!  I do this once a week to keep the nasty smells out of my sponge and microwave.

Any plastic measuring cup with water in it for 3 minutes.The steam will soften any grime in the microwave.This also works to clean the botom of a hood fan. put two pots of water on,bring to a boil,let them boil about 8 minutes,stuck on grease splatters,grime will wipe right off.
