How to Clean your Microwave & Garbage Disposal

Wash and replace the glass tray and wipe down the outside of the microwave.  I then usually take the bowl with the lemon juice, add the lemon rind, and place it back in the microwave for another minute.  It gives it a nice fresh smell once all of that grime is out of there!

Now to clean the garbage disposal.

• Toss a few ice cubes down the drain and add about a cup of vinegar.  {You could also freeze the vinegar in ice cube trays for this if you really wanted!}
• Run cold water down the drain and turn on your garburator for about 20 seconds. This will help to sharpen up the blades and break up any grease build up.
• Now take the lemon juice and rinds from the microwave, dump them down the garburator and let it run for 20-30 seconds with cold water.
• If you have really stubborn odors, pour baking soda into the drain and let it set for a few hours before running the water and garbage disposal.
• Repeat monthly.

A clean garburator will give you cleaner dishes in the dishwasher as well so make sure you clear it out before you run a load of dishes!

 Once you are done, have a nice glass of lemon water!  Or make some cute lemon ice cubes to enjoy for later.
