without having to post a sign in the breakroom saying "clean up after yourself" (or some such thing).
Those signs annoy the hell out of me.
We're adults. We all should know that. (When I see signs like that, I'm always tempted to rip them off the wall).....
any other suggestions?

That's the only way known to office personnel.
You should see the microwave at the Valero station. Ooooey. Talk about nasty. Those people on the night shift never clean it up and that's when all the drunks show up to buy their exploding burritos.

I am disabled now, but have worked many years in the past at several office jobs. One piece of advice is to put up a list of workers who are given the responsibility of cleaning the microwave once a week on a rotating basis. Have the supervisor okay this list and have the supervisor sign the list to give it some authority. If you have a refrigerator in the break room, you could have a list of people but have it done on a monthly basis of rotation.
Good Luck!

If you're being good and no one else is, you may just have to annoy the hell out of them anyway.
Meanwhile, entertain yourself with some humor that might work. There is biohazard and fake police line tape you can buy (or improvise with a roll of yellow crepe paper) Make a sign that says "Closed due to input from unsanitary coworkers."

If you are in a position of authority, call them in for a short meeting.
If you arent, you might be able to stay after work when no one else is there and then hide it in an office no one looks in. Then, post a message sayng: "I, the janitor, am tired of cleaning this microwave and i am hiding it. It will be available in 1 week. In the future, if it isnt kept clean it will be removed for good." then stay after work and put it back up 1 week later

either bring you own or b4 or after work when no one is around, put an egg, hot dog, ear ring from the 80's, a shoe and something cheesy, in the microwave on hi for about 10 Min's . when done and brought to a flaming fire. take out the too big portions and wait to hear about their plan to keep the new microwave clean upon arrival to work.

Posters are the best way of doing it, serves as a reminder and warning, you could try standing next to the microwave and do a demonstration, or simply just when everyones there just ask them to clean up after themselves, or say the boss has told me to tell you all that the microwave must be cleaned when ever used due to hygiene legislation, thanks.

Since you're obviously set against posting a sign you can either go to your co-workers and tell them yourself or you can go to the big boss and tell him/her to tell them.

put a cat in there, and then see how long it takes someone to clean it up....then a note saying, everytime the microwave is dirty, God kills a kitten.

I hate slobs. Hammer to the forehead should work though.
