    glass jar of water heat hot enough the steam coats the interior. Wipe up while still damp.

  • My favorite way is to use a bowl of water (microwavable of course) and add either some vanilla extract or some lemon juice. Set the microwave so that the water boils for 30 seconds to a minute, then you should be able to wipe everything clean with some towels. (be careful as the bowl with water will be hot)

    Fill a microwavable bowl (6 cups +/-) with water and add about 1/2 cup of vinegar. Microwave till it boils. Set bowl out carefully and wipe inside to clean inside of the microwave with soapy water. You may have to boil water a couple times to loosen grime inside the microwave. You can clean the turn plate from inside microwave in the sink while wiping the inside of the microwave. When complete, wipe outside of the microwave with warm soapy water and then a dry cloth and spray window cleaner on it and shine up water spots and smudges on the outside of the microwave.

  • You can add the juice of a lemon to that water too!

    Hi there, put a teaspoon of dishwashing liquid in a bowl filled with water, give it a quick stir and then pop it into the microwave on high for about a minute. Carefully remove the bowl (it's hot) and use a sponge to wipe the inside. That should do the trick
