How do I get the inside of my microwave clean

GardenMillie

I use the half lemon in a bowl of water too - really cleans and degreases plus it smells lovely.

Happy cleaning:j

This is the text of an appeal for info from my work - can anyone here offer any help? Thanks.

My son seriously burnt some microwavable popcorn in the microwave at the weekend. After much cleaning with conventional kitchen cleaning products it is still an orangey/yellow colour inside instead of white. It also smells horrible. Does anyone have any Kim & Aggie style tips for getting it back to its former colour and smell?

Thanks guys,

Metherer

Hello hello,

What I use to clean my microwaive and it works no matter how stinky or grimy it is is boiling water and vinegar, take 1 largish pyrex bowl, fill with boiling water, with a good glug of white vinegar, switch microwaive on for 10 mins and cleaning it after the vinegar fumes have done the work should make it a doddle, and it should shift the smell for you too.

I was going to suggest the same with lemon juice.

I tried the vinegar version once and my microwave stank of the stuff for a year afterwards! Lemon juice in water is great though - lemon fresh, mmm.

Please help.I've always kept the inside of my microwave clean by just wiping down after every use.i have been trying to get my ds to look after himself more.Eg heating up his own meals ect. But now my microwave is in a right state as he hasn't covered food ect. How does everyone else clean theirs? What products do you use.I have tried to be very environmental in thislast year or so so eco products would be preferref although seeing the state of it then anything!!!!!!
Please help

Hi

I put in a small bowl of wate with some lemon juice in and turn on for a minute. This will get it all steamy and loosen the gunge so you can wipe it out. Might take a couple of goes if it's really stuck on though!
