Why lemon and baking soda in the microwave in the 1st place? What does it do?

 

[nakiaj]

@sarah610 steams meant to release and make it a easy clean with a nice smell xx

@nakiaj It doe but the Lemon is acidic and I used to do it all the time but the lining of the microwave started peeling like paint

 

[nakiaj]

@jpw93 yeah I’ve never done it just knew what it’s meant to do lol xx

 

[jpw93]

@nakiaj really good at cleaning the microwave but dilute the lemon as it's mainly the steam that cleans it. Lemon helps but 2 of my microwaves got ruined inside as I was doing it too often and the lemon is very acidic. Haven't done it in this microwave. I just use water and put it in steam.

@sarah610 not now!!

A bowl of vinegar will absorb the smell. Just put malt vinegar in a small bowl, put in microwave, shut door and leave overnight. Do not hear it.

How did you forget?!

 

[deltagirl820]

@elsiemarie she didn’t, she accidentally put it on 20 minutes too long

 

[james5960]

@elsiemarie omg I always forget, thats what the timer is for

 

[fundementalist_boy]

@james5960 It was the timer that was the problem. She inputed the wrong number of minutes.
