    Here is a simple step-by-step guide to cleaning the microwave:<\/p>\n

    \n

    Step 1: Prepare the lemon water<\/h4>\n
      \n
    • Detail 1:<\/strong> Fill a microwave-safe bowl or glass with water, about halfway.<\/li>\n
    • Detail 2:<\/strong> Cut a lemon or lime in half and squeeze the juice into the water. Then add the lemon or lime peels directly to the bowl for maximum effect.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n
      \n

        \n
      • Detail 1:<\/strong> Place the bowl in the microwave and set it to the highest power.<\/li>\n
      • Detail 2:<\/strong> Leave the microwave on for a few minutes until some of the water has evaporated.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n
        \n

        Step 3: Let the steam work<\/h4>\n
          \n
        • Detail 1:<\/strong> When the microwave is ready, leave the bowl for a few minutes to allow the steam to continue to work and dissolve the dirt even more effectively.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n
          \n

          Step 4: Wipe with dish soap and cloth<\/h4>\n
            \n
          • Detail 1:<\/strong> Carefully remove the bowl (use oven mitts if it is hot).<\/li>\n
          • Detail 2:<\/strong> Then use a damp cloth with a drop of washing-up liquid and wipe the entire inside of the microwave.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n
            \n

            Step 5: Don't forget the door and edges<\/h4>\n
              \n

            • Detail 2:<\/strong> The detergent on the cloth helps to remove grease stains and fingerprints.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
              \n

              Bonus: Why does lemon work for cleaning?<\/h3>\n

              Citric acid is a natural degreaser and has antiseptic properties. When the lemon is heated in the microwave together with water, steam is produced that both dissolves dirt and releases a fresh scent. It's an easy and environmentally friendly way to get rid of stubborn stains and bad odours in the microwave.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
