We could really use your help!
- Vinegar works well also..
- Any citrus fruit will do, such as lemon, lime or orange.
- You may also use some paper towel if you don't have a sponge.
- Always remember to use a clean sponge, otherwise you may just be wiping around messy liquids.
- Never put a metallic object in the microwave.
- Never use household cleaning products in a microwave because even micro-particles of it could start a fire if not cleaned out for at least a few days.
- Always be careful when dealing with microwaves.
Things You'll Need
