The disclosure and prior art relates to cleaning devices and more particularly pertains to a new cleaning device for cleaning a microwave oven without chemical cleaners.
An embodiment of the disclosure meets the needs presented above by generally comprising an oven. A bowl is provided that contains a liquid and the bowl is selectively positioned within the oven. The oven boils the liquid thereby producing steam. The steam penetrates debris is stuck to the oven thereby facilitating the debris to be cleaned from the oven. A cloth is provided and the cloth is selectively positioned in the bowl. The cloth is comprised of a liquid permeable material such that the cloth absorbs the liquid. Moreover, the steam is released from the cloth when the oven is turned on to heat the liquid.
There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the disclosure in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are additional features of the disclosure that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.
The objects of the disclosure, along with the various features of novelty which characterize the disclosure, are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this disclosure.
The disclosure will be better understood and objects other than those set forth above will become apparent when consideration is given to the following detailed description thereof. Such description makes reference to the annexed drawings wherein:
With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to
As best illustrated in
The steam 22 penetrates debris 24 stuck to the inside surface 16 thereby facilitating the debris 24 to be cleaned from the inside surface 16. The debris 24 may be food particles or other organic material that commonly collects in a microwave oven 12. The liquid 20 may be water and the bowl 18 may be comprised of wood. Thus, a microwave oven 12 will not heat the bowl 18 thereby facilitating the bowl 18 to be touched without burning.
A cloth 26 is provided and the cloth 26 is selectively positioned in the bowl 18. The cloth 26 is comprised of a liquid 20 permeable material such that the cloth 26 absorbs the liquid 20. Moreover, the steam 22 is released from the cloth 26 when the oven 12 is turned on to heat the liquid 20. The cloth 26 has a first surface 28 and a second surface 30.
The cloth 26 has a first cut 32 extending through the first surface 28 and the second surface 30. The first cut 32 facilitates the steam 22 to pass through the cloth 26. The cloth 26 has a second cut 34 extending through the first surface 28 and the second surface 30. The second cut 34 intersects the first cut 32 such that the first cut 32 and the second cut 34 forms an X. Additionally, the second cut 34 facilitates the steam 22 to pass through the cloth 26. Each of the first cut 32 and the second cut 34 are centrally positioned on the cloth 26. Additionally, each of the first cut 32 and the second cut 34 may have a length ranging between 2.0 cm and 4.0 cm.
In use, cloth 26 is positioned in the bowl 18 and the liquid 20 is poured into the bowl 18. The cloth 26 absorbs the liquid 20 and the bowl 18 is positioned in the oven 12. The oven 12 is turned on to boil the liquid 20 thereby producing steam 22. The steam 22 penetrates the debris 24 that is stuck to the inside surface 16 of the oven 12. The oven 12 is left on for a period of time ranging between 2.0 minutes and 4.0 minutes. The bowl 18 is removed from the oven 12 when the oven 12 turns off. The inside surface 16 of the oven 12 is wiped clean when the bowl 18 is removed from the oven 12. In this manner the inside surface 16 of the oven 12 is cleaned without the use of chemical cleaners.
With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodiment enabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, system and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the disclosure.
Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the disclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. A reference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless the context clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.
