How often should you clean the microwave?
Fortnightly. It goes on the list when you tell it there is a microwave.
What it actually is, and what shifts it
A bowl of water boiled for a couple of minutes fills the inside with steam and lifts everything off the walls. Then it is one wipe, and no cleaner has to go anywhere near the thing you eat out of.
Put it on a list that reminds you
“Wipe out the microwave”, fortnightly. Tick it when it is done and the next date is counted from that day, not from when it was due.
