Veggiemomma-I know. I was surprised how well it worked. I'm with you, I'm not crazy about the smell of vinegar but it hasn't been too bad.

Totally a GREAT method. I've been using this method to clean my microwave for a long time. Including a couple days ago when I got my old one out of storage and it was moldy--eww!! Microwaved vinegar + water for TEN mintues, to be sure, then wiped it all out--not even a smell--except the smell of vinegar!
Another tip is to add grapefuit essential oil (or another kind) to mask the vinegar smell. Works great.
