16 Genius Cleaning Tips You Must Know!

Refresh Your Microwave with Lemon

Zap Away Grime

If your microwave needs a quick refresh, try this easy, natural method using a lemon. Cut a lemon in half, squeeze the juice into a microwave-safe bowl of water, and drop the lemon halves in as well. Microwave on high for 3 minutes, then let it sit for 5 minutes. The steam will loosen stubborn grime and deodorize the microwave, making it easier to clean and infusing a fresh citrus aroma.

Citrus Freshness

Once the time is up, carefully remove the bowl and wipe down the interior with a damp cloth. The lemon steam will have loosened any stuck-on food, making it a breeze to wipe away. Your microwave will smell wonderfully fresh, and this method is both quick and chemical-free.
