Mrs Hinch fans share 30-second hack for cleaning microwave without chemicals

Now Christmas is out of the way, many will now have a fair amount of cleaning to get to in their kitchens.

From ovens to chopping boards, most kitchen tools and appliances end up getting used before the big festive meal. That might include your microwave, which may have been used to heat up a latecomer's roast or to prep the gravy.

And cleaning the microwave can be a tricky ordeal due to its small space, and in some kitchens, an elevated position.

As reported by the Mirror, one member of a Facebook group named after cleaning influencer Mrs Hinch asked what they should do to get their microwave cleaned up.

On Boxing Day, a Facebook user asked: "Best way to clean a microwave please?"

It did not take long for the Mrs Hinch cleaning tipsters to respond and many of them have offered the same advice in the shape of a lemon.

One said: "Heat up water with lemon juice and let the steam start the process then wipe clean. Easy."

Another advised: "Put half a lemon inside on the glass and turn for 30 seconds. Then wipe with kitchen towel."

The steam generated from the heat of the microwave could also be a valuable method according to the Facebook group users.

One person wrote: "It's own steam works best. Dish with lemon sliced in it, microwave on high for five minutes and wipe everything away. Wash the glass turntable in hot soapy water then dry. Job done."
