Overview

• Dissolve one unscented dishwasher tablet in a microwave-safe mug of hot water, heat on medium for 4–5 minutes, let the steam sit for 2–3 minutes, then wipe the interior clean.
• Promoted as reducing cleanup from about 20–30 minutes of scrubbing to roughly five minutes of simple steam cleaning.
• Users are advised to remove the turntable beforehand, avoid tablets with bleach or strong fragrances, wear gloves when handling the hot cup and rinse surfaces thoroughly.
• Vinegar or lemon juice in hot water are suggested as non-tablet steam-cleaning alternatives and materials like tin foil, cardboard or paper bags remain fire hazards in microwaves.
• Reports cite a Lottomart spokesperson and an unnamed cleaning expert instead of independent lab tests or appliance-manufacturer endorsements.
