I just did it but used an orange instead because I did not have any lemon. It worked like a dream. I can't believe how easy it was and for years I've been scrubbing!! Thank you so much Melissa.

@cleanmyspace 7 лет назад

That's great Murray! Good to know that an orange will work as well!

Murray Lichter how do I clean the gas top stove?

@rickyraton12 5 лет назад

Once u mess it up, let it dry for 3 months like mine then we'll talk...

@shovelheezy 4 года назад

Why don't you give this method a try on your nasty ass microwave and see for yourself? I used a similar method on MY nasty ass microwave just using vinegar and water and I cleaned up real easy.

@stacybeasley9450 4 года назад

Exactly what I was thinking... n

@LAUREL5784 3 года назад

LOL!! I'm like you... will this work on MY mess?? After over a year of cooked on mess, THIS METHOD WORKED! Now, I will KEEP it clean!

@nanthidahorton 4 года назад

I had a microwave full of dried on mess; I hadn't cleaned it in months, probably 2-3 (gross, I know). I used this method, but left the bowl in the microwave for 30 minutes without opening the door. Did it a second time and let it sit another 10. I was able to wipe away everything with a sponge. I was totally skeptical, but thought I'd give it a shot. It's crazy how good this works. Thank you, Melissa!

@sandraoaks7887 2 года назад

I have health issues & my microwave is n the same condition. Thanks 4 the added info. 👍😉

@yachi9152 8 лет назад

New, fresh dirt is, in general, easy to clean. Would have been good to see how you clean old dirt.

@blackbutterfly233ify 7 лет назад

Yak Chizi she said the process is the same but you would have to scrub more

@silentstorm8071 5 лет назад

Old sticky grease!

@LAUREL5784 3 года назад

@@silentstorm8071 it came off my messy baked on mess... 5 minutes of steam and lemon juice is powerful... lemon juice is strong acid. (I wore gloves)

@Blondehairedwarrior 3 года назад

Exactly what I was going to say ... it fresh splatter that’s easy

@lmccahill45 7 лет назад

I have always used a mixture of water/white distilled vinegar/baking soda which also gets some of the mixture onto the walls and the floor of the microwave so when you wipe it all out you really get everything out. I just clean the dish like any dish and let it air dry in the dish rack with all of the other newly clean dishes.

@AnnaCorleone 10 лет назад

You just saved my life! It also works with a dishwashing detergent and water mixture. It took me like 10 minutes including the time waiting for the microwave heating the bowl!! Thank youuuu!!

@islandgirl33 8 лет назад

Yes!! Clean microwave! Caked on food from hubby not covering . Worked like a charm:) I put removable plate in dishwasher . Thx so much!!! I used vinegar, worked well:)

@hellkittykat1 4 года назад

Works like a charm! Also, love that the lemon water makes a great degreaser 😁

@brendaguerrero1941 9 лет назад

Did this today and it totally worked! Thanks Melissa!

@matt57tupman 8 лет назад

That was actually really helpful. I'm constantly running around after my 10 month old so my poor microwave has been neglected. It was super easy to do only took a few mins and my microwave was seriously dirty!

@sagarhajela11 2 года назад

I just cleaned my microwave which hadn't been cleaned since more than a year and it turned out to be amazing. I still have some orangish spots which didn't go away even after using a multipurpose cleaner 😢 and wiping multiple times. Also, a big thanks to you. I have been following your videos on how to clean kitchen, bathtub, microwave etc. since I started living on my own as a college student and your videos have been so helpful. Tomorrow is bathtub cleaning day for me!

@kenwong7871 8 лет назад

over 20 people usage for 1 year and sit in storage for 4 months. It was sparkling clean in 10 minutes (5 min in the microwave). Amazing!!! Thank you.

@stephaniemolina5046 4 года назад

Thank you so much for the great tips! I was following along to video and hurray I had a lemon! Yay! This is a great alternative healthy option that I was looking for.

@tiffanyharpandsong 8 лет назад

I love your videos! My favorite way to clean my microwave (this is especially good if you don't have lemons on hand) is just soak a rag, squeeze out the excess water and microwave just the rag itself for a minute or two. Let it sit for a min and you can just use the same rag to wipe your microwave.

@SunnyRoseShine 5 лет назад

A coworker told me this method awhile back. It's the only method I've used since.

@SimpLeeBeth 5 лет назад

Be careful. This isn't good for your microwave. They are supposed to only be turned on if there is at least a minimum amount of liquid in them. I think it is a cup or so. (Check the manual or Google it to know for sure)

@FatherofKingJosh 4 года назад

SimpLee Beth most foods have water in them. There’s enough water in a lemon to not be concerned.

@elizabethclaire7680 11 лет назад

@AdrianJayeOnline 5 лет назад

now try that with "DRIED ON" food, it does work, but nowhere as easy or good as you show

@cleanmyspace 10 лет назад

Hmm, cream of tartar works well to remove rust spots, so create a paste of CofT and water and buff the rusty areas until it comes clean.

@jeremyburnham6286 11 лет назад

Amazing idea

@PrayEndureLove 3 года назад

Simple, quick and efficient. I am impressed with the video so much that i wrote a comment.

@mariejoynikolov5230 Год назад

that is the most amazing idea i've ever heard im going to try it now🤩

@tommyc4641 3 года назад

Thank you for this video. The method worked a treat. Dipping a micro-fibre cloth into the solution did help with shifting the stubborn bits, but just a reminder to be careful as understandably the solution will be very hot.

@pinthera 7 лет назад

This trick worked like a charm! Thanks :)

@reehanataj2208 2 года назад

I've just done this and it's amazing. It got all the old stuck on grease, I just wiped it all off with a microcloth, very little elbow grease required. I wiped everything down whilst still hot. With the leftover hot lemon juice, I wiped down the fridge shelves and all the cupboard handles. Thank you for the video.

@ramonlukeruiz1565 4 месяца назад

@anye76 11 лет назад

I so didn't know this at all Melissa, I always hated the thought of using chemicals in the microwave that may not of all wiped clean and all that fumes and toxins what not gets in the food, this is so great. It's best to not let the microwave get too crusty wipe up spills when they happens

@Sharkster32 4 года назад

I used vinegar in lieu of lemon, and on a microwave that hadn't been cleaned in about a year, and it worked perfectly! Make sure you use a damp cloth to do the wiping, and rinse the cloth out if you notice that it's just leaving grime behind.

@sandraoaks7887 2 года назад

Added helpful info. Ty. 👍

@DraciaNightcat 6 лет назад

Ugh... I just cleaned my microwave today. I think it's a year old and that's about how long it's been since it was last clean. I used white vinegar and water, 5 minutes on high, 1200 watts. That wasn't enough so I put it in for another 5 minutes then left it sitting in there for half an hour. Worked like a dream and now it's like it's brand new again. Don't put off cleaning your microwave, kids.

@cleanmyspace 11 лет назад

We have a self-cleaning oven video, have you seen it? A great way to clean your non self-cleaning oven is with a steam cleaner or with some sort of enzyme cleaner.

@deavolive 4 года назад

This really worked. I just tried it and my microwave was dirtier than yours. SS heat up salsa without covering it and I didn’t feel like cleaning it so its been sitting like that for a while. I did spray it down and wipe with a household cleaner first. That wasn’t working. Then I tried your method. It made it so much easier to clean. Thank you! I will be looking for more tips like this. I have a household of 6 and one more on the way.

Love your videos. The production is cool, nice graphics and sound effects. We had a little 'accident' in our microwave where something got burned. It's got a smokey smell and some brown areas left over and using the lemon/water trick did not help. Any suggestions on how to get rid of this stuff? Thanks!

@21inspired 10 лет назад

This works like a charm. Even with lemon juice.

@ruthmann238 7 лет назад

@MommyEng828 11 лет назад

great tip! thank you! quick question...how do you clean the microfiber cloths after use to ensure the gunk gets out? perhaps a future video on how to clean the cleaning rags and such? thanks!

@gcsusetyo 5 лет назад

Looks like a great idea, will try that next time! I usually clean mine by spraying white vinegar all over and wiping it with a paper towel after each use. But my microwave has a grill on top and it's been so impossible to clean no matter how much I wipe.

@lakalakadakabear 10 лет назад

Just cleaned my microwave thanks to this video! I tried using vinegar (you mentioned in your 10 uses for vinegar video)... it didn't work as well as I had hoped though... but the food in there had been stuck for months.... but with a sponge and some mild soapy water, I was able to get most of the gunk off. :) It's kind of stained with grease though... any tips on removing the orange-ness? :)

@onalizafrates6635 7 лет назад

I used a lime which works as well 👌👌👌👍

@christiejean2653 6 лет назад

Our microwave is old, from my husband's bachelor days, and it was seriously groty lol. I attempted to clean it a few times but after that I gave up. I thought there was no hope for it. Dude, you made a believer out of me! Holy sh*t, it's so clean!!! Amazing! Thank you 😀😀😀

@dennisthemenance5433 6 лет назад

Can buy a new One for less than $75 ..And MW should be replaced a Min of every 7-10 yrs ! Radiation Leaks..Worn Seals, etc.. and New one's use Less Eletricity !

Bravo. But I have to say that I loved the "obligatory microwave cleaning dance" on the greenappleclean vlog. A dance would be nice. The outtakes were cute though ;)

@thegreatduchess 11 лет назад

Just saw it! I tried backing soda, all kinds of degreasers and even abrasive cream cleaners - nothing really works! It still has that grease spots on the walls... I'll give that steam cleaner a try! Thank you for your time! :)

thank you, Melissa, for another great video I followed your advice and it works. mine was super dirty so I had to do a little more elbow grease than you did but for keeping it clean your method should do quite well. My microwave looked like multiple bio-hazard experiments gone wrong!

@nepp67 11 лет назад

Thanks for this...very helpful. My 9 year old "overcooked" (i.e. burnt) something and now we have a brown looking patch on the back panel of the microwave I can't get off. Question: do you know of any way to get that burn stain off?

@adamcarlile9116 8 лет назад

I have learnt a lot can you do a video on cleaning doors

@irissepulveda962 Год назад

I cover my containers or plates with a damp paper towels and it works very well. I have never clean the filters inside my microwave because I don't know if you can remove them but to me just looking at them they look very clean. So, are we supposed to clean these filters, and how? Thank you.
