Have you ever got a physics lesson from your microwave? Well, I have! Today, I was heating, or I should say overheating a bowl of soup and it exploded. You can imagine the mess inside the microwave. Fortunately, somehow the explosion didn't break the glass so I can say I’m lucky!

I immediately started looking for some ways to clean the mess taking into account there was also some old grime on the walls of the microwave. I never waste time using artificial detergents, first because they are toxic and secondly because they are more expensive than natural ones. This time I opted for Microwave Cleaner I found on ‘Practically Functional’. The solution Jessi suggests is mixing vinegar with some lemon essential oil. The mixture performs miracles! If you are interested in other toxic-free detergents, follow the links: Natural Bleach Cleaner and Screen Cleaner!
