Five-Minute Lemon-Steam Microwave Hack Gains UK Media Traction

News sites relay a Reddit user's cleaning shortcuts as community tips rather than lab-tested instructions.

Overview

  • The Reddit post suggests heating a bowl of water with lemon for three to five minutes, then wiping the interior to remove loosened stains.
  • For microwaves with hood-style filters, the advice is to soak the filter in hot water with washing-up liquid and a dash of baking soda to lift grease.
  • The poster described the shortcuts as life-changing and recommended using microfibre cloths, particularly on stainless steel surfaces.
  • They also urged spraying the shower immediately after use to reduce later scrubbing, while commenters added deglazing pans and broad vacuum uses.
  • Liverpool Echo, the Daily Mirror and the Daily Record amplified the thread today, highlighting strong reader endorsement and practical add-ons.
