Hot Humid Summer…
This summer has been so hot and humid! It has also been one of the busiest summers in years for my family. We have 3 boys, and two of them have birthdays during the summer. I decided to throw a big birthday party for one of them and finally show off our new homestead to our friends. It was exciting and fun. Most importantly, the kids had fun! In the process of cooking all the food for my 30 friends, I made a gigantic mess in the microwave. I know I can get all the grease and stuck-on food cleaned up easily using my easy microwave cleaning method.
I decided to head to Target to pick up a couple of items and pick up the supplies I need to clean the microwave with. While I was there, I picked up a 6 pack of printed ocelo™ No-Scratch Scrub Sponges, a 4 pack of non-printed ocelo scrub sponges, and a couple of cool items that will be great for a frugal and crafty teacher gift. The ocelo scrub sponges are the perfect item to clean the microwave with. All I really need is something that is powerful, right? ocelo scrub sponges are very good for cleaning. I know this because I use them a lot, and not to mention, I love the different colors and designs to choose from.
I use ocelo No-Scratch Scrub Sponges to clean a multitude of things because I know they won’t scratch or damage them in any way. Keeping one in the bathroom to clean the sink and the delicate marble bathroom tile. I also always have one at the kitchen sink for cleaning my non-stick and stainless pots and pans, glasses, and dishes. ocelo No-Scratch Scrub Sponges have printed and non-printed design options. At Target, the printed ones come in a 3 pack ($3.89) and a 6 pack ($5.57). The non-printed ones come in 4 pretty colors: teal, lemon, mango, and lime, and in either a 2 pack ($2.39) and a 4 pack ($3.99). I usually buy a 6 pack of printed ocelo No-Scratch Scrub Sponges and a 4 pack of non-printed. I like to use the non-printed in the bathroom and the printed one at the kitchen sink.

Easy Microwave Cleaning Tutorial
First, we need a really dirty microwave. My microwave was already super dirty from the birthday party food I had reheated, but then the kids reheated some ravioli. They filled the bowl too full, and now, look at this mess! As if it wasn’t dirty enough to begin with.
This step is optional. If you have super-stuck-on food or your microwave is super gross, place a glass of water in a microwavable bowl and run the microwave for a couple of minutes. This will release steam and get some of that caked-on mess to loosen all on its own.
My microwave looks like a mess, but the ocelo No-Scratch Scrub Sponges were quite strong enough to get the job done without heating the water.
The next step is to get your ocelo scrub sponge wet with warm water. Start by using the scrubbing side of the sponge. This doesn’t take too much work. The ocelo scrub sponge is powerful enough to take on the job easily!
Scrub and then wipe with the soft side. Continue using this method until you have all the stubborn food particles removed.
To get all the food particles you scrubbed loose out of the microwave get a clean washrag to wipe them out. This leaves you with a super clean microwave. Mine looks brand new, doesn’t it?
I got my microwave clean very easily using ocelo No-Scratch Scrub Sponges. The fun and creative designs made cleaning fun and easy!
I love the cute little pineapple designs. Thanks for checking out my Easy Microwave Cleaning Tutorial! Now, go get yours clean. Find ocelo No-Scratch Scrub Sponges ONLINE AT TARGET. Or find them in the store and save $0.50 off one ocelo Scrub Sponge Multi-pack using this .50¢ OFF COUPON!

I know what you mean! That is why I love the ocelo sponges, they work really hard so I don’t have to! Thank you Liz!
It’s amazing what a great sponge and some warm water can do! Thanks for this post!

I never heard about ocelo before but I definitely need this! I hope we have this in our country too.
I sure hope they have them in your country too! Good luck finding them. What country do you live in?
I keep seeing the ocelo sponges and wanted to try them! I am so going to buy some next time I’m at the store!
Awesome! I love them!
I had to end up buying a new microwave. Mine refused to be cleaned anymore and the cleaners stayed inside. I am going to use your tips when I have to clean my new one.
I think sometimes we let the mess in there go to long. It is easy to forget about cleaning it, especially if mom isn’t the one who uses it most often. You might could make a point to clean it once a month. I bet cleaning it more often will help immensely!
My microwave needs a cleaning bad. I have a few ocelo sponges, so I might have to try this out over the weekend.
Awesome Jamela, let me know how it goes.
I had forgotten that old trick about putting water in the microwave to loosen stuck-on grime. I need to remember that the next time I go to clean the microwave.
It is much better than using stinky cleaners!
OH my goodness, I’ve had a blow up in the microwave like that before too. Tips on cleaning, esp a mess like that are always welcome.
Right? Cleaning the microwave was a pain before I started using my new method. I seriously hated it!
My, looks like a great all-around kitchen tool for me! I usually don’t use my microwave nor have any problems cleaning it but my other kitchen essentials all say a different thing. Thanks for recommending Ocelo!
It really is a wonderful cleaning too! Thanks Karla!
