How to Clean a Microwave – The Green Way!

Have you ever opened your microwave and jumped back in horror at the grime that has built up, and you spent an hour cleaning it just last week?!
Well here at Our Everyday Earth we have the perfect solution, it’s easy and it’s green… You just need to harness the cleaning power of steam.

Simply half fill a cup with water and set the microwave running on high power for approximately 4 – 5 minutes. The idea is to get the water boiling so that the microwave fills with steam. Next simply leave the microwave for 15 minutes and wipe down with a kitchen towel. That’s it!

This cleaning tip means you don’t have to use any harsh chemicals and it cleans both the microwave and the cup which can simply be dried off and put back in the cupboard. This cleaning method also sanitizes the microwave. So happy cleaning and say farewell to those hours of scrubbing your microwave clean.
