The microwave is a kitchen essential, used multiple times daily. Regular cleaning and disinfection are key to hygiene—without harsh chemicals. White vinegar delivers a simple, economical solution.
In a bowl, combine 250 ml water, 125 ml white vinegar, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Heat uncovered on full power for 3-4 minutes. Let sit for 15 minutes, then wipe with a clean cloth.
Spotless results for pennies: 1 liter white vinegar costs €0.50 (125 ml: €0.06); 1 lemon €0.37. Total: €0.43 vs. €2.10 for commercial cleaners. I use 1 bottle monthly, saving €20.04 yearly.
