Tips:
- For an extra boost of freshness, you can add a few drops of lemon essential oil to the water.
- If your microwave has particularly stubborn stains, you can increase the heating time to 1 minute for more effective steaming.
- To maintain a clean microwave, wipe down spills and splatters as soon as they occur to prevent them from hardening and becoming more difficult to remove.
With just two simple ingredients and a few minutes of your time, you can enjoy the satisfaction of a sparkling clean microwave, all without the use of harsh chemicals. Say hello to a kitchen appliance that looks brand new every time you use it! πβ¨
