5 cleaning hacks for your microwave

Cleaning your microwave is a tedious job, but oh so necessary. With these handy hacks you will move this task forward less quickly. Hard scrubbing is now unnecessary!

1. Baking soda

Make a mixture of baking soda and water. Coat the dirty areas with the mixture and let it sit for five minutes. After five minutes you can easily remove the dirt with a wet sponge.

2. Dishwashing liquid

Fill a glass with water and add a spoonful of dishwashing liquid to. Heat the mixture for about two minutes. Stand by, because it must not boil over. Leave the microwave closed for another three minutes and let the dish soap do its work. Then wipe the microwave with a clean dry cloth. And another tip:buy your dishwashing liquid organic and in large packaging † That saves money and the environment.

3. Sponge with detergent

Would you rather not use a glass of water? Then wet the inside of the microwave with a plant sprayer. Then place a wet sponge with a drop of dishwashing liquid in the middle of the microwave. Warm the sponge for three minutes and then clean the inside with the heated sponge.

4. Use a lemon

Put about a liter of water in a microwave-safe dish or bowl. Place half a lemon in slices. Turn on the microwave for three to four minutes until the water is boiling. The vapor of the water does its job. All you have to do is take off the vapor.

5. Vinegar

Spray the inside of the microwave with cleaning vinegar. This is slightly more persistent than the lemon method. Let the vinegar Leave on for 15 minutes and then wipe off the dirt with a clean cloth. Please use professional spray bottles like this † They last a long time and do not leak.
