Cleaning the microwave

The best way I've found to clean the microwave is also pretty cost effective. I put half a cup of water with a pinch of baking soda and bring it to a boil. Then let it sit for about 30 seconds before opening the door and quickly wiping down the ceiling, walls, bottom and finally the inside of the door. It's cleaned, deodorized, and has no chemical odor. For the outside of the door, wipe it down with a soft cloth with dishwashing soap and water wrung out of it. The handle is a different story, wipe that with a wet paper towel with a little soap and a dab of Clorox. That will disinfect the handle from possible raw meat, etc. that might have been on your hand as you opened or closed the appliance. Now you can nuke to your heart's content in a clean vessel!
