How to Clean Your Microwave With Just Steam

Does your microwave look like there was an explosion inside of it? Here is the easiest way to clean it without any cleaners.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Large plastic bowl
• 6 cups of water
• Clean washcloth

1. Find a large, plastic, sturdy bowl. Be sure that the bowl you are going to use is microwavable. Otherwise it will melt and there will be a bigger mess to clean up then just food splatters.

2. Fill the bowl up with approximately six cups of water. Do not add any cleaners to the water.

3. Place the bowl inside of the microwave for 10 minutes, allowing the steam to penetrate the food that has attached itself to your microwave.

4. Once the 10 minutes is up, take the bowl out of the microwave carefully. It will be extremely HOT.

5. Get your clean washcloth and proceed to clean the microwave while the food is still moist inside from the steam.

6. Repeat steps one through five if the food hardens back up before you have finished cleaning it.

Tips & Warnings

• Be very careful taking the water out of the microwave. Will be very hot.
• Do not add any kind of cleaner to the water.
