微波炉就是为了方便。有什么需要加热的吗？把它放在微波炉里，几秒钟后就暖和了。考虑到它作为厨房省时器的用途，很容易忘记实际清洁它。这意味着你的微波炉很有可能很恶心。

幸运的是，在Kitchn的专家的帮助下，有一种方法可以让清洁变得简单一点，而且它不涉及苛刻的化学物质。

这个过程只需要一个柠檬、水、一个微波炉安全碗和一条干毛巾：

1. Pour water in the bowl: Measure about a half cup of water into the bowl.
2. Squeeze the lemon: Slice the lemon in half and squeeze the juice into the water. Drop the lemon halves into the bowl.
3. Microwave for 3 minutes: Place the bowl in the microwave. Microwave on high power for three minutes so the liquid comes to a boil.
4. Let stand for 5 minutes: Do not open the microwave door. The steam trapped inside will help loosen food gunk. Let stand for five minutes.
5. Wipe the microwave clean: Open the door and carefully remove the bowl with the lem***. If your microwave has a turntable, lift it out and wipe it clean. Wipe the inside of the microwave clean starting with the ceiling and the sides. Finish with the floor, sweeping any crumbs into your hand. Don’t forget the door!
6. Cleaning stubborn spots: If you come across stubborn spots that won’t easily wipe away, dip the corner of your dishtowel in the lemon water and scrub until the spot comes away.

那么，这为什么有效呢？这一切都归结为柠檬中的柠檬酸，它有助于杀死细菌，霉菌和霉菌，以及打破结块的食物和消除污渍。

你的微波炉需要更多的核心帮助吗？你可能想试试小苏打和水，用一张旧信用卡刮去粘液，或者用醋蒸。
