This method made it simple to wipe out mess in my microwave, but it did not totally remove the bacon smell.
Thank you for your feedback Rachel. I will edit this blog because a correction needs to be made. The last step should be to wipe down with a water and vinegar solution. Try it again with this correction. Looking forward to your feedback.
