    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!

      most people do, and you still need to get your MW's inside clean from time to time..

  • @erinnstreeter

    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.

    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.

    Beautiful! Thanks for the inspiration. I've really got behind with my kitchen recently, but I'm about to set my microwave off to steam, and while it's doing its thing I can make a start on clearing the sides and washing my dishes! 💪🤓💕

    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 UA-cam is learning from each other

    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.

    That's a pretty dirty microwave. I've never had a microwave where there was stuff settled under the turn tray. I'm glad to see that at least I do exactly the same way of cleaning my microwave and oven. But I add baking soda too.
