A microwave oven is a convenient and useful device that helps you cook and reheat food.
But over time, greasy and corrosive contaminants accumulate inside it, which not only spoil the appearance, but can also affect the quality and taste of the products.
How to quickly and safely clean a microwave from such deposits?
One of the simplest and most effective ways is to use tangerine peels.
This fruit contains essential oils and acids that soften and dissolve dirt and give a pleasant aroma. In addition, it is a natural and environmentally friendly product that will not harm your health or equipment.
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.
