Man, I’ve been doing this the hard way for way too long!
Cleaning the microwave can be one of those dreaded kitchen chores, especially when grease stains and splatters seem to set in like concrete. Over time, these stubborn stains not only make your microwave look grimy but can also affect its functionality and even start to smell if left untreated. Luckily, my Nana taught me a simple trick that makes cleaning those grease stains almost effortless. Here’s how it works.

My Nana always believed in natural cleaning methods, avoiding harsh chemicals whenever possible. Her trick for cleaning the microwave is all about using steam to loosen up the grease and grime. With just a few household ingredients and a little bit of patience, you can make your microwave look brand new again.
