how to clean a dirty microwave

My microwave is usually a giant mess. In fact, even though I love this trick for cleaning the microwave I have put off showing it because I am so embarrassed of the microwave. We bought our house “as is” from the bank. It was in really bad shape. I am not sure what happened to our microwave, but it looks like the previous owners tried to blow it up. 🙂 Since it still works, and would be a very expensive fix, I just deal with it. So even clean it isn’t pretty, but it looks much better. Here is my microwave at its worst.

 So, to clean it I put a cup of vinegar and a cup of water in the microwave. I “cook” it for about 3 to 4 minutes. Then let it sit for about 1 minute.

 After letting it sit for a few minutes then I take a microfiber cloth and dip it in the vinegar water mixture (careful, it’s hot!!). I then wipe down the microwave. I don’t worry about getting it perfect, I don’t scrub real hard, I just try to get what wipes off out.

 Once I have wiped down the whole inside I put the vinegar water mixture back in the microwave to cook for 3-4 more minutes.  The second time really does the trick. Next, I just wipe it down one more time. It’s almost perfect, well except for my giant crater. 🙂
