The Microwave is one of those kitchen appliances many of us put off cleaning. Its one of those items that is out of sight out of mind and as long as the outside of the appliance is clean the inside can wait.
Inside the microwave there can be food splatters and food spillages and often a nasty unclean smell.
The microwave can also be an awkward appliances to clean that you need to get the plate out and get your arm right in to reach the sides and the ceiling of the appliance. Food can often be stuck so after a little wiping many people will just give up.
But there is such a simple easy effective way to clean the microwave and here is how.
1 – Fill a microwave safe bowl with warm water and grab a lemon from the fruit bowl and cut this into 4 quarters.
2 – Pop the lemons in to the bowl of warm water and put the bowl into the microwave.
3 – Set the microwave to 5 minutes and start.
4 – The water should boil.
5 – Once the 5 minutes cycle has finished leave as it is for another 5 minutes and let the steam from the bowl along with the lemon do its job of dissolving the grease, spilled food and grim.
6 – Remove the bowl and dispose of the water and lemons. Take out the plate if you have one and wash this is warm soapy water and then with a clean damp cloth wipe the inside of the microwave and see the dirt and grim come away really easily.
7 – If you have some really tough old food stain add a little white wine vinegar to a cloth and then rub and this should then come away easily.
8 – Dry the plate and pop this back and you will have a very fresh clean smelling microwave the looks like new.
I hope this simple tip has helped you.
