so, if i put a jug of water with a slice of lemon in my microwave

[RubySlippers]

will it get nice and clean?

I am sure i read somewhere that this works, but can't remember

does anyone know if it works?

TIA

obviously, i would switch on the microwave to heat the water up

Yes it will soften any hard stuff and it should just wipe clean.

It also de-orourises the microwave. Watch out for condensation dribbles though, it might be an idea to put a teatowel along the front of the microwave to catch this.

oh good

will give it a whirl in that case

i wish i had a surplus of lemons ATM

tis bloody freezing and lots of frost promised for tonight ...

NO IT DOenst work

I used to do this regularly with my microwave - made no difference whatsover, complete waste of time. I did it, wiped the sides, and they were still filthy, and I couldnt shift the dirt

use a dish rather than a jug and it does work but you need to put it in longer than you would think.

use a half piece though, not a slice

i did it and it worked!

have a clean microwave now and a lemony scented kitchen

I use a whole lemon, cut in half, and squeezed into a bowl of hot water. Then microwave for at least ten minutes.

Off to do it now in fact as I have loads of lemons in the fridge atm.
