Put a wet dishcloth in the center of your microwave, set the power to “high,” and zap it for 30-40 seconds. The resulting steam will loosen up any cooked-on spills. Once the cloth has cooled down a little, use it to wipe out the inside of the oven. Voila – you’re done!

Extra tip: To keep the microwave smelling fresh, add 3 or 4 lemon slices to a bowl of water, set the power to “high” and microwave it for at least 30 seconds.

To remove rust from the dishwasher, fill both detergent cups with Tang Breakfast Drink and run the dishwasher through the normal cycle (don’t add dishwasher detergent). If the rust is severe, repeat several times.
