Experts are sharing their favorite cleaning hacks that take just minutes and will save homeowners a significant amount of time.
The genius hack doesn’t involve any harsh chemicals and requires just one ingredient.
Homeowners are raving about the “lemon trick” used to clean messy microwaves.
The hack is as easy as it sounds; all you need is a lemon, a cleaning rag, and a small measuring cup.
To begin, measure about half a cup of water into a measuring cup.
Then, cut the lemon in half and squeeze the juice into the water.
Once the juice has been squeezed, drop the lemon halves into the bowl.
Microwave the measuring cup for three minutes, and then let the bowl stand for five minutes without opening the microwave door.
Trapping the steam inside the microwave will loosen the food debris, according to The Kitchn.
After time has passed, open the microwave food and remove the lemon bowl.
Once the bowl is removed, wipe down the rest of the microwave with a cloth.
For stubborn stains, dip the corner of the cloth into the lemon water and continue scrubbing the microwave until all the stains are removed.
