And it didn't take long for one woman to reveal that all you need to get the microwave sparkling again is a lemon and a tub of water. Jenny Wootton replied: "Heat up water with lemon juice and let the steam start the process then wipe clean. Easy."

Others also suggested the lemon method while others said that using half of an actual lemon in the water could also do the trick to get your microwave sparkling again. Christine Lewis said: "Put half a lemon inside on the glass and turn for 30 seconds. Then wipe with kitchen towel."
