  • Tip of the Week #47: Zap This!

    May 6th, 2008 by markdownmom

    Outside of the British cleaning ladies, who is going to look in your microwave? I mean let’s get real here, does it really matter when the light goes on and the microwave zaps the food that you really can’t guess lemon slicedwhat’s cooking inside unless you put it in there? Or for that matter, that a new smell is being emitted from the unit that makes you wonder if the mac’n cheese you put in to warm-up is burning along with an old sock? Or that even though you’re sure you put saran wrap over the bowl, something is sputtering inside and spewing unrecognizable blobs at the window? Well, if you don’t care then maybe it’s time to call the ladies from How Clean Is Your House because you may be living at ground zero for disasters!

    A quick, eco-friendly, and time-saving cleaning solution is at hand! Simply fill a glass bowl with water, put slices into the water from half a lemon, and zap it for 1-5 minutes. The steam will loosen the gunk from inside your microwave, making it easier to wipe up, and the lemons will sweeten the interior and add a little zest to your kitchen air.
