How to clean your kitchen with just one lemon

Step 1. Get your materials ready

You will need a microwave safe plastic bowl (big enough to hold 2 cups of water)
One lemon
2 cups of water
Spray bottle
White distilled vinegar
Cotton towel

Step 2. Clean the microwave

Cut your lemon in half cover it with the water and place the bowl in the microwave uncovered. Cooking time 5 minutes. But if you microwave looked like mine, like it hadn’t been cleaned since 2005…add another 5 minutes.

Remove the bowl carefully, it’s hot! Then with a cotton towel just wipe clean! For stubborn caked on mess (yeah mine was that bad) dip the towel in the water then wipe.

Step 3. Make a cleaning solution

Let the lemon water cool off a bit then add equal parts lemon water and white distilled vinegar into your spray bottle. I recommend a small bottle, because you won’t need that much solution and the lemon water can get moldy if not used within a couple days.

Mix together and knock yourself out cleaning anything, the counters, the stove…you know that grime that builds up on top of the fridge? Perfect for that!
