What is needed

  • tangerine peels (you can use orange or lemon peels);
  • microwave-safe bowl;
  • water;
  • sponge or cloth.

How to do it

Peel the tangerines and cut them into small pieces.

Place the skins in a bowl and add water until they are completely covered.

Place the bowl in the microwave and turn it on at full power for 5-10 minutes. Depending on the degree of contamination, you can increase or decrease the heating time.

Leave the bowl inside the microwave for another 5 minutes to allow the steam to penetrate into all corners of the chamber.

Remove the bowl from the microwave (be careful, it may be very hot) and wipe the sides, bottom and door with a sponge or cloth. The dirt should come off easily.

Wipe the microwave with a dry cloth or paper towel.

Your microwave will sparkle clean and smell fresh! This method can be repeated regularly for prevention or as needed.
