How to Clean Your Microwave Naturally
Does your microwave smell funny?
Looking to eliminate the bad smell on your microwave, even to freshen up the inside of it when something with a strong smell has been cooked?
Follow this effective advice:
Fill a glass or small jar with water and piece of lemon, until it’s half-filled, leave the shell, don’t peel the lemon, boil this mix at the highest power during 2 or 3 minutes – or more if it’s too dirty.
The vapor gets on the inside and softens everything that was stuck to the microwave’s insides. Proceed to clean with a dry sponge.
Your microwave will be like brand new after this, and get a nice smell.
If you want to change its new aroma, instead of boiling a piece of lemon, use cloves, bay leaves, apple vinegar from cider diluted in water
