That crusty, splattered microwave mess met its match with this citrus-powered cleaning hack! Slice a lemon in half, place it in a microwave-safe bowl with about a cup of water, and let it heat for 3-5 minutes until the water boils and windows steam up.
The citrus steam works double duty – it loosens stubborn food particles while infusing your kitchen with a fresh, natural scent. Let it sit for another minute after the microwave stops (careful, it’s hot!), then simply wipe away the grime with a cloth. The acidic properties of lemon combine with the steam to break down grease and food residue effortlessly.
No harsh chemicals needed! For extra cleaning power, dip the lemon rind in salt and use it as a scrubber for particularly stubborn spots. Your microwave will sparkle like new, and your kitchen will smell amazing!
