Clean the microwave

You were heating up the remains of yesterday’s dinner for breakfast, but you left it in too long and before you know it, splat! It has burst all over the microwave.

A dirty microwave is not only disgusting, but also incredibly unhygienic. Think of all the festering germs, growing each time you cook more food. Sure, heat kills a certain amount of germs, but that no reason to leave two week old dried crust in the microwave. It’s very simple to clean out and no doubt it’ll be appreciated by everyone!

Steps:

  • Bring a cup of hot water to the boil in the microwave, the steam will loosen dried on food particles making them easy to wipe away.
  • Mix 4 tablespoons of baking soda to one quart of warm water. This can be used to wash the inside of the microwave.

Simple, that’s it! Go forth and eat cleanly.
