The microwave oven has long since become as indispensable a household appliance in the kitchen as the oven or refrigerator.

Since we constantly use it to heat up food, over time the appliance starts to smell unpleasant.

And if you want to get rid of unpleasant odors without much effort, then you should try the advice of experienced housewives.

Remove the smell from the microwave in no time

Fresh lemon and salt will help you fight unpleasant odors from your microwave.

In the first case, take a lemon, cut the fruit into slices and put half of the sliced fruit in a deep container that can be heated in a microwave. Pour water into the container, put it in the oven and let it warm up.

The water with lemon should boil in the microwave for at least 5 minutes. Repeat the procedure with the remaining half of the lemon.

Regular table salt, which is a natural adsorbent, also helps a lot. Pour salt on a saucer and leave it in the microwave overnight: this time is usually enough for all the unpleasant odors to evaporate the next morning.
