Yick...you know that icky mucky mess that coats the tub and shower and just makes everything look matte and UN-clean. Soap scum! Here's a new (and ironic, if you ask me) way to try cleaning the gunky goop off...
In a clean spray bottle, pour in a few capfuls of plain shampoo. (Nothing fancy, nothing expensive. Any cheapo brand will work nicely here. I also use cheapo shampoo sometimes as a frugal bubble bath! Oops, should I have admitted that??) Top up the bottle with plain old tap water and give it a gentle shake. Spray wherever you have soap scum and let sit for a few minutes before wiping off with a moistened cloth.
This really works! :) You can keep a bottle in the tub/shower and use this whenever you're showering - just spray it on and let the steam action of the shower help make it easier to clean...

Tammi's Microwave Cleaning Tip: Kitchen Cleaning Hints and Tips
Here's an email from Tammi. :) Awww shucks, I love being called the Queen Slob. hehehe
Dearest Queen Slob:) lol
Doesn't the microwave get totally disgusting??
Use a medium sized microwave safe bowl (preferrably plastic-so you don't burn your fingers), fill it with at least 2 cups of tap water, microwave on high for at least 5 minutes, may need longer depending on your microwave-but the water doesn't have to be boiling. Leave the bowl of water in the microwave for at least 1 hour WITHOUT opening the microwave door. The steam will soften all that icky stuff and it will wipe right off with some paper towels. Now there's a cheap cleaner:)
