Asalamualaikum,
Seeing as how a lot of the islamicans are married, and living on thier own, I thought it would be ccol if we could all share tips and tricks of the art of housekeeping.
I myself am not married, nor am I living on my own, but mother has gone to the Pakland for a little over 2 months and has left me with a house and 5 boys to take care of

Alhamdulilah though. I'm loving every moment of being 'mommy'.
Today I cleaned the microwave using a tip I saw somewhere on the net. This works like a charm in removing any odor and food stain.
Clean out the crumbs from the microwave. Fill a bowl with about 2 cups of water, add a couple of tsps of lemon juice, and set it up for as long as your microwave takse to boil that much water. When the water comes to a boil, leave the bowl inside, and let the steam penetrate the interior of the microwave. This will help tremendously in loosening the food particles, and then you can wipe the interior clean with a damp cloth. The steam helps loosen the food particles, and the lemon adds a nice scent. Ta-da!
