From fat spray, dried spots and the smell of yesterday's dinner, the microwave quickly loses freshness, even if you use it carefully. And purchased cleaners leave a pungent smell and are not always safe for food. But there is a life hack that copes with everything in a few minutes. All that is needed is already in the kitchen.
You will need:
Water – 1 cup
Vinegar (table or apple) – 2 tablespoons
Lemon – ½ pieces (or 1 tsp. Lemon juice)
Soft rag or paper towel
How to make:
- Pour water into a deep bowl, add vinegar and lemon slices.
- Put a bowl in the microwave and turn on the full power for 3-5 minutes until steam goes.
- Do not open the door at once, let stand for another 2-3 minutes. The steam softens all the dirt.
- Take a bowl and wipe the walls with a rag.
Steam from the acetic-lemon mixture dissolves fat and kills bacteria, and acid neutralizes smells. No chemistry, but only natural components, safe even for children's dishes.
Question-answer:
Is it safe to use vinegar in the microwave?
Yes. Vinegar is a natural and soft remedy. It does not damage the coating, leaves no traces and completely evaporates.
Do I need to wash the door and a microwave seal?
Yes. There are also spray and steam with fat. After the “steam” processing, wipe the door, glass and rubber seal with a damp cloth
