Let’s face it—cleaning the kitchen can be one of the most time-consuming (and let’s be honest, least exciting) parts of home maintenance. Grease, grime, crumbs, and mysterious sticky spots love to hide in corners and under appliances. But what if there was a way to cut your cleaning time in half with one simple trick?
Introducing: The Microwave Steam Bomb Hack.
Yep, it’s as explosive as it sounds—in the best way possible. This hack not only tackles that stubborn microwave gunk, but also leaves your entire kitchen smelling fresh and clean. Ready? Let’s do this.
What You’ll Need:
-
1 microwave-safe bowl
-
1 cup of water
-
1 cup of white vinegar
-
Juice of half a lemon (optional for a fresh scent)
-
A sponge or cloth
The Step-by-Step Hack:
-
Mix the bomb – Pour the water and vinegar into your bowl. Squeeze in the lemon juice if you’re using it.
-
Microwave on high – Place the bowl in your microwave and heat on high for 5 minutes. The mixture will boil and steam up the microwave walls.
-
Let it sit – Leave the door closed for 2 more minutes after the timer ends. This gives the steam time to soften up all the grime.
-
Wipe away the mess – Carefully remove the bowl (it’ll be hot!). Then take your sponge or cloth and effortlessly wipe down the inside of the microwave.
-
Bonus clean – Use the remaining liquid to wipe down your counters, stovetop, and even your sink. The vinegar cuts grease and disinfects, while lemon leaves behind a clean scent.
Why It Works:
-
Steam loosens gunk so you don’t have to scrub like crazy
-
Vinegar is a natural degreaser and disinfectant
-
Lemon kills odors and leaves a zesty freshness
-
It’s chemical-free, cheap, and takes under 10 minutes
The Takeaway:
Don’t waste time battling built-up kitchen mess. This microwave steam bomb hack is your secret weapon for a cleaner kitchen in minutes. Try it once, and you’ll wonder how you ever lived without it.
