A "mustache amount" is a great way to measure the quantity of product to use! I would have never thought of using a butter knife wrapped in a microfiber towel to remove the crumbs stuck in the cracks, that's brilliant! Work smarter, not harder!

My mom used the butter knife trick back in the 60s, although she wasn't using a microfiber cloth obviously, and she wasn't cleaning a microwave.😉 She wasn't the best role model, but I did learn a few things from her.👍🏻

I use a silicone splatter cover in the microwave. No mess to clean off. I just give the cover a quick wash as needed. Sooooo much easier than cleaning out the oven!

1) Use a splatter cover every time you use your microwave. A mess prevented is a mess you don't have to labor to clean up later. 2) Microwaves heat food by agitating the food's molecules, especially its liquids. Steam is released each time you cook food in it. That steam transfers residue to the inside of the microwave in the form of whatever small molecules the steam can pick up on its way out of your food. Try doing a quick wipe down of its interior whenever you're done cooking food - you'll be surprised at how much clinging grease ends up in there after even one use.

One spot missed that needs cleaning on a microwave that’s above a stovetop and that’s the top ledge. Found out one day just how gross it can get although I’m sure it depends on how often you fry. I hadn’t thought to clean the wheels under the turntable. That’s one of the great things about KZbin is learning from each other

As a great preventative measure, I like to place a paper towel over messy foods before I heat it. It saves a lot of clean-up!
@kathywiseley43826 ай бұрын

@Sarah-bq1oy5 ай бұрын
I do the same thing but use a cloth and completely wet the whole thing with only water. I'm talking almost sopping wet. I don't want a house fire. I microwave the cloth for about 1min. Let the cloth sit in the microwave for about 1 to 2 mins, and let the cloth release steam and help loosen the stuck-on gunk. I carefully unfold the towel and wipe down the entire inside. It works like a charm, and I never need any cleaners.

@jaytee26423 ай бұрын
Wow, I'm far from being a model housekeeper, but I can't imagine letting my micro get THAT grungy.😖 I use a splatter cover when I am heating food, and I always keep a paper towel, folded in half, on the glass turn table. Mostly I use the paper towel to muffle the sound...the clinking noise of setting a glass container onto the glass turntable annoys the crap outta me! Plus it catches spills. Replace as needed.
