How to Steam Clean the Microwave
In my quest to help eliminate harmful chemicals throughout my house, I was able to eliminate another cleaner by creating my own version of steam cleaning the microwave. I love this easy project because it literally takes less than 2 minutes. It's a perfect project to quickly clean things up and another project.
The only things you will need for this project is water, a dish, a sponge, and lemon essential oil.
Once you start using this method for cleaning you won't ever go back.

David MossOct 02, 2017I'm definitely looking forward to trying out this method. Essential oils are amazing for many things. I've been using water and vinegar for microwaves suggested by my sister's friend who owns a house cleaning company. But I'm always exploring! Thanks for sharing the knowledge:D
Kathy AOct 20, 2017I put water in a dessert dish, add a few drops of Dawn, nuke for 2 minutes, let it sit a bit and wipe crud off the walls and ceiling. Then I use the hot soapy water to wash the glass turntable. It is slick. Lemony soap is great for removing odors like fish.
Have a question about this project?
yes, but can use lemon juice?
Can you use this same method to clean a greasy toaster oven
Essential oils are not chemicals because they are distilled or obtained from natural sources. Many people with chemical sensitivity can use essential oils without bothering themselves (I being one)
