Clever Ways to Clean Your microwave with Baking Soda

Some of the best household cleaners use baking soda. Baking soda is the perfect ingredient to make a cleaning solution because it is abrasive.

Combine the abrasion with a little effort and you have a solid tool for removing caked-on food from multiple surfaces around your home.

Ingredients

• Sodium bicarbonate
• Agua
• Container

In a small bowl, mix two parts baking soda and one part water. Stir the ingredients until you get a slightly runny paste.

Spread the paste over the microwaved hardened residue and let sit for five to ten minutes. Wipe away paste and food debris with a damp sponge or clean cloth.

• Spray

Fill a spray bottle with distilled water, vinegar, and lemon juice. Shake the bottle so that all the ingredients are mixed well.
