The kitchen can get very messy very quickly and sometimes it can be hard to stay on top of it and keep it clean.
The microwave is just one appliance that often needs a quick clean but can be overlooked.
But now a cleaning fan has shared a genius hack that gets the microwave clean in just under 30 seconds and it will cost you just 40p.
The top tip was shared on Mrs Hinch's cleaning tips Facebook group which lets cleaning fans share their hacks and tricks to get your home sparkling clean.
Posted on Boxing Day, the tip encourages users to try the method of cleaning the microwave with just a lemon and a tub of water.
As a group member wrote that all you need to do is "Heat up water with lemon juice and let the steam start the process then wipe clean. Easy."
Although it might not be new to some, this hack could cut your cleaning time in half.
Another user also suggested that you should use just half of a lemon in the water saying: "Put half a lemon inside on the glass and turn for 30 seconds. Then wipe with a kitchen towel."
The lemon will clean the microwave through the steam created which helps move the grime inside the machine.
Your Money Matters
Your Money Matters is a campaign launched by us and our sister titles across Newsquest to help you overcome the surge in the cost of living.
This year has seen a whole host of household price increases — from the energy price cap rise to surging inflation and food prices — costing your family hundreds or even thousands of pounds extra per year.
We’re making it our mission to look out for your cash, offering money-saving deals, competitions, giveaways and insightful stories from your community on the impact this cost-of-living crisis is having on our readers.
The worldwide energy crisis exacerbated by the Ukraine invasion, the financial impact of the Covid pandemic, record inflation figures and a surge in the cost of goods, fuel and travel means we will all feel the pinch.
Through our newspaper, we want to do what we can to help make your cash go further because we know your money matters.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
