How to Clean Your Microwave with Lemon What You’ll Need: A microwave-safe bowl A few lemon slices or lemon juice A cotton cloth or paper towel Baking soda (optional, for stubborn stains) Steps: Pour at least one cup of water into the microwave-safe bowl. Add a few lemon slices or 2-3 tablespoons of lemon juice. Place the bowl in the microwave and heat it on high for 5 minutes. Let it sit inside for another 15 minutes without opening the door. Carefully remove the bowl (it will be hot but safe to handle) and use a cloth or paper towel to wipe all surfaces inside the microwave, including the door and its gasket.
For grease stains that are hard to remove, add a few drops of dishwashing liquid to the lemon solution for extra cleaning power. The turntable plate can be washed as usual or placed in the dishwasher.
Cleaning expert Sabrina Fierman also recommends cleaning your microwave weekly or more frequently if needed. To minimize cleanup, always cover food with a microwave-safe lid when reheating.
Both lemons and vinegar are excellent cleaning agents, but lemons are often preferred for their pleasant fragrance. This method is simple, convenient, and safe, making it ideal for appliances that heat food.
Cleaning your microwave doesn’t have to be a daunting task. With this easy lemon trick, you’ll save time while keeping your kitchen fresh and spotless.
