Our microwave gets used a lot, especially during the weekends. Just this past weekend, it was used to reheat chili, heat up SpaghettiOs, pop some popcorn and more. That means that our microwave gets pretty greasy and well, disgusting! Luckily, I’ve got the perfect thing to clean it already in my kitchen and I’m sure you do too!
I’m going to get real with you and show you how disgusting my microwave got after a week. So gross – there’s tons of food and grease everywhere!
The perfect product to cut through that grease in your microwave? Dawn Dish Soap! Dawn goes beyond the sink and can clean all sorts of stuff in your kitchen like your microwave, kitchen counters and cabinets and your stove top. Dawn is the ultimate secret weapon for cleaning greasy messes throughout your home from kitchen surfaces, to laundry pre-treating, to greasy tools, or car wheels and bike tires… nothing beats Dawn at getting them clean. It’s amazing what a drop can do!
I am loving the difference that Dawn makes in my microwave. It literally sparkles and shines and all I had to do was put a squirt of Dawn on a sponge, scrub and wipe down with a paper towel!
If you’re looking for some alternative ways to use Dawn in your kitchen, check out the for tips and ideas.

My daughter dropped a jar of tomato sauce and it went all over my kitchen! It was such a pain to clean!
Linda Stewart says
Cleaning my oven after cooking a holiday meal. It doesn’t matter what steps I take to prevent a burnt on spill … it always happens and cleaning it up is a total nightmare!
Stephanie says
I hate cleaning the microwave. 🙁
Lynda S says
Grease happens. You (or should I say Dawn?) did a great job getting your microwave clean.
Megan @mnmspecial says
My worst clean up is the hood vents. Whoever owned our house first loved greasy grimy stuff.
Christina Foley says
I hate cleaning my glass stove top.. it just never stays clean, even if I’m not cooking at the time it gets dirty. And if something boils over… ugh! I do have to say, I love Dawn, for everything!!! … twice in the last month our puppy has somehow managed to become covered in tree sap, especially her paws (it was like she was trying to make a mold of her foot .. so much sap!) and Dawn came to my rescue both times and quickly removed the sap from her feet (she’s a rescue and had some trauma to her feet so she hates them being touched).
Krissy Higgins says
I love Dawn dish soap. I use it to wash/clean everything in my kitchen – we even use it to wash the dog, it kills fleas better than flea shampoo!
Sara P. (@SensiblySara) says
Your microwave looks like mine! I haven’t ever tried to use Dawn to clean mine, but I am going to give it a try tomorrow!
Miranda @ The Bright Side of Reality says
I HATE cleaning the stove! We have an old electric stove and no matter what I do it just never looks “pretty” if you know what I mean. Like if I’m cleaning it, I want it to look amazing, not like I barely touched it.
Liz Mays says
I need to take my Dawn and get busy inside my microwave oven too. It’s a disaster in there!
Crystal Green says
I am a HUGE Dawn fan! You will literally see Dawn bottles all over our house and yard because we use it that much. It’s perfect to use for so many things. This giveaway is one I seriously hope I win.
Shell Feis says
What a smart idea! I don’t know why I haven’t thought to use Dawn, I use it for my dishes so why not the microwave?! Ours gets pretty nasty after we make microwave chicken- it always explodes at some point lol
Michelle says
I hate my yucky microwave! I will have to try using Dawn on it, it’s the only detergent I will use!
Kecia says
It seems our microwave cannot stay clean either. I haven’t used Dawn to clean it before, but thanks for the tip! Overall, though, my worst cleaning job is always the stovetop. My husband usually cooks and he is messy!
Robin Gagnon says
Pretty much how I always clean mine & never really thought much of it. Maybe that is why I don’t complain like some do.
Karen W says
My husband dropped a gallon of milk once when he was walking into the house carrying groceries. The milk went EVERYWHERE! It took forever to clean it up because I kept finding it in a different place. It was the worse mess ever.
My microwave often looks like yours. I only use Dawn in my kitchen and I’m going to try it in the microwave next time I clean it. Thanks for the idea!
Laurie Nykaza says
Spills in the oven then they are hard to get off takes so much time yuk
Kerry G. says
It’s usually the stovetop after I’m done cooking 🙂
Betty says
The fridge is my worst.
every so often someone will pick up a dish or container which then slips out of their hands. Storage containers or open bottles of sauce will either hit the edge of a shelf or simply the bottom of the door frame resulting in anything from marinara to restaurant leftovers being spread from inside the fridge all over the floor
Allison Downes says
the oven and the mucrowave tends to get the dirtiest the fastest and I hate cleaning them both.
Thank you for the nice giveaway!
Angela W says
I had an experience when my husband put a dr. pepper can in the freezer….it took me forever to clean it out.
Katie Klein says
I really hate cleaning the oven.
Nicole-Lynn says
A greasy, messy oven is my worst kitchen problem. I find it a struggle to clean it well and to keep it cleaned with all of the cooking I do for our family on a daily basis! I didn’t know Dawn dish soap helped remove grease and other stuck on foods so well! How neat Dawn is having a Pinterest party– thanks for sharing about that, too. Thanks for the opportunity. Happy Holidays!

I absolutely hate cleaning the oven. Even when it’s not hard (ie self-cleaning oven) — it still stinks up the kitchen.
Jessica Peace-Urgelles says
Dawn is the best dish detergent. I have tried other brands but nothing works as well.
Liz Ticona says
My mom is nice enough to cook for me and my son sometimes but she leaves the kitchen a mess! so anytime i have to clean up after her is the worst! but at least i have a delicious meal that i didn’t have to cook myself to enjoy right after 🙂
Birdiebee says
I really don’t like to clean the oven as it is so hard for me to get to the back of the oven and the sides. It is one kitchen job that I put off until the last possible minute to do.
vanessa says
maybe the microwave after heating up marinara sauce
Sindy Murray says
cleaning the oven and refrigerator.
Mary Kozeny says
Dawn is great on everything……..best cleaner
Sara Wood says
I find cleaning out the fridge to be a nightmare sometimes.
Jennifer Grant says
Ugh. Microwave. Such an awkward angle, too!
Deb Jackson says
My worst cleaning job is the oven. Since I hate it, I seldom use it and walah………..I don’t need to clean it.
