"Miracle" Cleaner

You may have seen this pin http://www.onegoodthingbyjillee.com/2011/09/my-kitchen-miracle-cleaner-part-deux.html.
I moved into this rental about a year ago and my burner trays were horrible. This is one after scrubbing it with dawn (which I do about once every 2 weeks.)

I added the cleaner and let it sit while I did the dishes (I don't have a dishwasher)

Then I scrubbed it for 15- 20 minutes

Much cleaner! not perfect but I was happy to see it looking this good. Will probably substitute my once every two week dawn scrub with this.

Clean Microwave

The first pinterest "trick" I tried was cleaning my microwave with vinegar. http://practicallyfunctional.net/2012/04/how-to-clean-your-microwave-in-2/

I wish I would have taken before and after photos, but I didn't know I was going to start this blog. My microwave was pretty gross. I had a lot of red sauce stains on the top. But the trick made it turn out WONDERFUL! I live at an elevation of 10,200 ft so the 5 minutes made my water boil and splash all over the microwave, but that didn't hurt it. I didn't need to scrub at all, just wipe up the water.
