Got a Clean Microwave?

I follow this blog http://blog.homemade-baby-food-recipes.com/ and found this great tip.
There is a technique you can use to clean your microwave easily and quickly, with very little effort… and it leaves your kitchen smelling wonderful afterwards!

Here’s what you do…

1. Take a large mug or small, microwave-safe bowl and pour in water until it is about half full.

2. Cut a lemon or lime in half and squeeze the juice into the water (you only need to use half of the lemon, or all of the lime if it’s a small one) . Throw the squeezed-out lemon or lime skin in, too.

3. Put the mug/bowl into the microwave and set on full power for 3 mins (this time, double check you pressed 3, not 30!).

4. Carefully remove the bowl of water (it will, of course, be boiling hot) - and you’ll find that the citrus-scented steam created by the water has softened all those dried on bits and lifted the grease. You can then easily wipe the microwave clean with a cloth.

If you don’t have a lemon or lime to hand, you can use vinegar - or even baking soda - instead. We actually prefer the citrus method as it leaves such a nice smell - but, whichever way you choose, at least you’re not using harsh chemicals to do a job that can be accomplished equally effectively without them!
