How to Clean Your Microwave In 5 Minutes #DawnBeyondTheSink

October 24, 2014 By Emily 19 Comments

Thank you Dawn and Double Duty Divas for sponsoring this post. All opinions are always my own.

Most people know about dish soap, and it’s amazing ability to cut grease in the sink. But did you know that it does so much more than just dishes?

With Dawn you can:

  • pre-treat laundry stains
  • Help clean greasy tools (my husband’s favorite)
  • Clean greasy surfaces though out your home
  • help save wildlife

And really  so much more too! In my home we reach for Dawn when it comes to any tough cleaning job, especially if I want the job done fast. And we always use it to clean our kitchen. Honestly, I haven’t met many people who enjoy cleaning, so the quicker you can get things done the better. Dawn fights grease efficiently and quickly!

How to Clean Your Microwave In 5 Minutes

One of the kitchen surfaces in my home that gets neglected a lot is the microwave. It looks clean from the outside… but the inside is a different story!

With Dawn I can clean the whole microwave in 5 minutes! (Don’t judge my before pictures… Life get’s busy!)

First I take out the plate. I like to make single servings of bacon in my microwave, so it’s usually a greasy mess! Next I follow these steps…

  • Apply a squirt of Dawn to a sponge/dish cloth under warm running water.
  • Scrub the greasy surface, and watch Dawn put grease in its place.
  • Dry the surface with a paper towel and that’s it.

No, seriously! That’s it. Don’t over think this. Dawn, scrub, rinse, dry.

Check out the side by side difference. And this part only took 2 minutes! (if that!)

Next I move on to the microwave itself. I simply repeat the steps below.

This step usually only takes about 3 minutes, unless your microwave is REALLY dirty it shouldn’t take very long and it doesn’t require much elbow grease at all. That is why I love DAWN! It does the work for me!

    That’s a great tip. I need to clean mine. The kids are getting old enough to use it, but apparently not enough to clean it after they’re done.

    Cleaning the microwave has always been one of my least favorite chores. However, brands like Dawn are good for tackling kitchen messes, especially when it comes to cleaning the dishes and the microwave. 🙂

    I hate cleaning under the stove, ugh where all the food spills and everyone forgets to clean it. I don’t mind cleaning the microwave but I do wish my kids would clean up after themselves in the kitchen. Isn’t that all moms’ dreams?

    My microwave is soooo gross right now. I’m lazy about it because when the door is closed you don’t know how filthy it is.

    My worst job has been the stain on my granite thanks to a cast iron pan that was wet underneath and I didn’t know and rusted a HUGE circle. Ugh. It’s still there!

    I love Dawn. First my sister told me that it has done miracles in her kitchen. I cleaned my microwave with it and it was soooo easy. In my opinion there is no easier way to clean. Greetings!
