Here are a few quick tips for how to clean appliances with vinegar! Forget harsh chemicals and clean your appliances the all-natural way!
Many of you may have seen my previous post on How to Clean your Dishwasher. But if you didn’t here’s a re-cap. To “remove built-up soap film and increase [dishwasher] performance [pour] 1 cup of undiluted white vinegar into the bottom of the [dishwasher], or in a bowl on the top rack. Then run the machine through a full cycle without any dishes or detergent.” When it has finished the cycle wipe down the inside of the dishwasher with a damp cloth.
“To remove grease, grime and cooking spills from inside your oven make a paste of 1 cup white vinegar and 1/4 cup of powdered laundry detergent. Heat your oven for 5 minutes at 180 degrees, [then turn it off]. Spread the paste around the oven, applying it more heavily to very greasy areas. Leave [the] paste on for an hour, then use a plastic spatula to gently scrape the [grime] away.
“To clean your microwave, place a glass bowl filled with a solution of 1/4 cup [white] vinegar in 1 cup of water inside the microwave, [then heat] the mixture for 5 minutes on the highest setting. Once the bowl cools, dip a cloth into the liquid and use it to wipe away stains and splatters on the” inside of the microwave. Be sure to wear rubber gloves to prevent burning your hands!

I just used my orange peel vinegar that had been sitting for 2 weeks to clean my oven yesterday. It worked amazing! Much easier than regular vinegar. I diluted it 1:1 with water.

This is Monique, Anna’s Assistant. Anna believes that this should be okay with a gas oven, however she suggests to contact the manufacture to be sure seeing as they are the professionals and Anna is only a semi-expert 😉 Hope this helps!
