This will reduce your need for cleaning by at least 75%. Lingering odors are minimized by leaving door open for five minutes or so after removing food.

I then put one part vinegar to two parts water and microwaved on high for two minutes. I was able to just wipe out the inside of the microwave with a paper towel. I even used the mixture to wipe the door and front of the microwave. I put my microwave glass tray in the dishwasher.

The fridge is next to a gas stove and is turning yellow. How can I clean it. I tried bleach with a scrub brush and nothing happened. I just moved in.

Some faster than others. Laundry spray stain remover, WD-40, peanut butter, cooking oil, etc will all work. The trick is to let it soak and do it's job. The sticker will lift off without a trace or a scratch. To remove sticker residue without scratching, any kind of oil will work. Some faster than others.

After removing the sticker (about features) in the front door, some sticker residue & adhesive was there in the major portion. Tried to remove it, but couldn't. Most of the front door was smudged with the glue & sticker. There were a few scratches too. Please help, how to remove the scratches, glue smudge & residual part of the sticker?
