For me the microwave oven is an indispensable tool that I use everyday. For some people, the microwave is used only for reheating, but I also use the microwave for cooking hot dogs and popcorn. I clean my microwave oven by using a wet sponge and dish washing liquid. It takes a while, but it does the job. Your tip is very helpful for people who wants to clean their microwave using environmentally safe ingredients.
