📝 Instructions

9 steps
1

Pour 2 cups of water into a microwave-safe bowl.

2

Add 1/2 cup of white vinegar to the water.

3

If using lemon, cut it in half, squeeze the juice into the mixture, and place the squeezed halves into the bowl.

4

Place the bowl in the microwave.

5

Heat the mixture on high power for 5 minutes. The steam from the mixture will loosen food splatters and stains.

6

After the timer goes off, leave the microwave door closed for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the steam to work its magic.

7

Carefully remove the bowl from the microwave using oven mitts, as it will be very hot.

8

Wipe down the inside of the microwave with a damp sponge or cloth. Any stuck-on residue should come off easily.

9

Dry the interior with a clean towel and enjoy your sparkling microwave!
