How to Clean Your Microwave in 2 Minutes with This Viral TikTok Lemon Hack

Let’s be honest – cleaning the microwave is one of those jobs that always gets delayed… until something explodes. But what if you could get it sparkling clean in under two minutes – without scrubbing or chemicals?

Ash (our go-to mum-life expert) found this clever hack on TikTok and it’s too good not to share. Here’s how you can do it too:

🍋 The 2-Minute Microwave Cleaning Hack

  1. Grab a microwave-safe bowl or jug and fill it with water.
  2. Cut a lemon in half and drop one half into the water.
  3. Place the bowl in the microwave and heat for 2 minutes.
  4. Leave the door closed after heating – this lets the steam work its magic.
  5. Open the door and wipe everything down with a microfibre cloth.
  6. For stubborn spots, dip your cloth in the warm lemon water for extra cleaning power.

Why It Works

The steam loosens grime and gunk while the lemon naturally cuts through odours. It’s quick, chemical-free, and leaves your microwave smelling fresh.

Bonus Tip

Repeat weekly to keep your microwave clean and fresh with zero effort.

You’re welcome! 😉
