White wine vinegar to clean your microwave
The microwave is a secret weapon in the kitchen for many cooks, but like its larger counterpart, the oven, it’s not as easy to clean.

There’s also a steam-based solution to release the energy of the damaged oil. This time it involves vinegar! Make sure you have enough of the mixture for good results.
Get a microwave-safe plate
Mix water and white wine vinegar 1:1
Close the lid and let sit for five minutes
Check the progress, add more time if necessary
There may be a healthy shock, be careful when removing
Dry all surfaces with a towel. Again, it is important to note that the inside of the microwave oven can get hot.
- Sterilize dish sponges in the washing machine
Washing dishes in the dishwasher
There is nothing scarier in this house than a dirty old sponge. Bacteria and grottoes are the stuff of absolute nightmares.
Many people recommend microwaving sponges, but I don’t like the idea.
What I like to do with my sponges is to submerge them in a color wash at 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit) to kill any grime. This way, I combine the two activities and save valuable time.
