This weekend has been filled with cooking, baking, and cleaning. Of course there was some snuggling and laughing thrown in there too, but it's been mostly work work work! The hubs and I decided to reorganize our kitchen (it's been a mess for far too long now). In the process of all of that work, I noticed something while moving the microwave, it needed to be cleaned!
I hate cleaning the microwave. It's always a pain in the neck and it never looks the way I want it to. Well, for some reason, my brain remembered something about cleaning with lemons and microwaves. I didn't have any lemons, but I did have limes, so I figured I would give it a try. Here's what I did!
I took one whole lemon, cut it in half and placed it in the microwave. I set the timer to 45 seconds and turned it on. I opened the microwave, took a paper towel (you'll need this. The limes are hot!) and grabbed one of the limes. I turned it over (so that the skin was in my hand and the fruit was exposed) and wiped down the entire microwave. I did not have to scrub anything. I didn't need to apply any pressure. The stuff came RIGHT off! When finished, I threw away the lime and took a wet paper towel and wiped everything down one more time (to make sure there was nothing sticky left inside).
The entire cleaning ordeal took approximately 2 minutes (including microwaving time). It was the quickest I have ever cleaned my microwave. It was also the cleanest it has ever looked!
Don't you just love natural cleaning tips? Isn't it crazy how much money we waste on cleaning "products" when good ole Mother Nature has figured all of this stuff out for us!?
