Just call me Martha Stewart

HOUSEKEEPING TIP FOR THE DAY:

(Don't worry...I will not make this a habit)

Last night I was in one of my cleaning moods. The target: The Kitchen.
I hate the thought of germs lurking around where I cook and eat.
I cleaned out the pantry, fridge (which is now empty), followed by cloroxing the interior and exterior of it, cleaned the stove, did the dishes, etc...

I hate how microwaves smell. All that popcorn/leftovers/hotpocket mixture is disgusting. I cleaned it with my Clorox Anywhere Hard Surface cleaner (doesn't smell too great, but it makes me feel clean...cleans 99.9% of all germs). Even after I wiped it down with the cleaner, it still reminded me of, well, popcorn/leftovers/hotpockets mixed with a greasy/grimmy overcoat. YUCK.

So...enters Martha Stewart.

I steam cleaned my microwave

DIRECTIONS:

Mix 2 cups of water with either
a) a tablespoon of vanilla
b) a few slices of lemon
c) lemon juice

Put in microwavable bowl and heat on high for 5 minutes.

when it is done, simply wipe down the interior of the microwave with a papertowel. TA-DA! CLEAN! and it smells oh so fresh. I used the lemon juice. I would like best, i think, to use real lemons, but I was out.

Now my microwave sparkles and smells just delightful. I think I will do this at least once a week.
