half a lemon is meant to work in fridges...

I'd be more worried about his farts after an Iceland ready meal.

SlartyBartFast · 01/05/2010 23:06

or just put a pint of water in and microwave. takes away the smells.

You could rub the inside of his arse with a lemon but that would be more of a punishment for eating Iceland ready meals.

SlartyBartFast · 01/05/2010 23:11

i dont really want to go near his arse, actually

OP posts:
SlartyBartFast · 01/05/2010 23:11

stick the lemon up his bottom?

OP posts:

exactly

i think if you put a bit of bicarb in overnight it might absorb the smell. or try putting a teaspoon in a bowl of water and nuke.

Here's what you do:

Fill a pyrex bowl (or any microwavable bowl)with water, to about two inches from the rim . Put a thick slice of lemon in the bowl and microwave on 'High' for 2 minutes. As soon as it pings, take the bowl out and wipe over the inside of the microwave with a clean, damp cloth.

Afterwards, if you dip the cloth in the bowl, you can use it to shine up the outside of the microwave too.

I think that came from the Kim 'How Clean is Your House?' webchat on here. Works a treat!

great.

I agree the lemon in water tip works a treat, also good for loosening any hard to remove splashed from inside the microwave.
