UPDATE: March 23, 2012
After much consideration – and months of in-home testing and scrutinizing – I am convinced that e-cloth® offers a product that is equal in quality and performance to Norwex but is more reasonably priced. I still stand behind my review of the Norwex Enviro cloth, but the e-cloth® General Purpose cloth performs just as well - and is of equally high quality - at a fraction of the price.
There used to be days when I’d rather clean my toilet than the microwave.
Do I need to elaborate here, or do you know what I’m talking about? The stinky, baked-on, greasy-milky-tomatoy-cheesy-explosion THAT’S BEEN IN THERE WAY TO LONG AND WILL… NOT… COME… OFF.
It’s not your mess, is it? Some other fool kept their snack/meal in there too long, let it explode then walked away. But are they gonna clean it? Not bloody likely.
How do YOU get that off? Spraying some chemicals in there? A dozen trips back and forth to the sink?
Step 1: fill a mug 3/4 full with water (add some lemon juice if you like a fresher smell) and microwave on high for 1 minute
Step 2: get your Enviro cloth and wipe the sucker clean.
The Enviro Cloth gets right into the corners and you won’t be tasting Mr. Clean next time you heat up your spaghetti.
I also find that a quick wipe with a damp Enviro Cloth will get rid of the microwaved popcorn and bacon smells (that seem to last for days).
Remember, you don’t have to scrub with the Enviro Cloth. Let those millions of microfibers do the work for you. For really stubborn bits, I soak (instead of only dampening) the Enviro Cloth and wipe GENTLY in a circular motion.
My favorite way to clean the micro is to put a half a cup of vinegar in a mug and boil it in the micro. This will soften everything in the microwave without having to wait. Then use the enviro cloth. It will take less than a minute to wipe out!
I like the sounds of that vinegar idea. I’ll have to give it a try. I keep industrial sized bottles of vinegar on hand in our house to clean the hard water residue out our kettle, coffee maker etc. and always like to hear of new ways to use it. Thanks for your comment!
