Overview
- Cleaning expert Chantel Mila, known as Mama Mila on TikTok, shared the method that UK outlets reported on Thursday and said scrubbing is not needed for routine grease.
- The step-by-step routine is to remove the basket, sprinkle bicarbonate of soda, drizzle washing-up liquid, pour boiling water over the mix, let it soak, then drain the dirty water.
- Washing-up liquid supplies surfactants that let water mix with oil and lift grease while baking soda acts as a mild abrasive and alkaline deodoriser to neutralise odours.
- For stubborn marks the coverage recommends a baking-soda paste, and outlets repeat standard advice to clean after each use and deep-clean periodically; users should take care handling boiling water and note this is influencer advice not manufacturer guidance.
- The tip shows how social platforms shape everyday homecare tips in the UK and could cut time spent scrubbing while reducing the need for stronger chemical degreasers in routine cleaning.
