3.Clean Microwave With Water And Lemon Juice
Fill a microwavable bowl with water and place a lemon, cut in half, into the water. Place in microwave, shut the door and turn on for 2 minutes. When you remove the bowl, the grease and mess inside will come right off with a damp towel. Try to use dish toppers to prevent further messes.
