The magic of lemon in cleaning the microwave
Among the appliances used in the kitchen, microwave is one such appliance which simplifies our daily tasks. Be it heating up breakfast, making delicious snacks, or reheating leftover rotis, the microwave does it all in a matter of minutes. But due to daily use, food particles, oil grease and splashes of spices get accumulated inside it. Over time, this dirt turns into stubborn stains, making cleaning difficult.
Often we buy expensive cleaners to remove these stubborn stains. But do you know that with a simple lemon you can bring back the old shine of your microwave? In this article, we will tell you how to clean the microwave using lemon.
Method to remove dirt with lemon
Lemon naturally contains citric acid and sourness, which easily removes oil stains and grease. When a lemon is boiled in water and placed in the microwave, its steam spreads throughout the oven.
This steam loosens grime and stubborn stains. Additionally, the freshness of the lemon also eliminates the strange smell coming from inside the microwave.
