Pour lemon wedges into a bowl of water and put it in the microwave.
Turn the microwave on for two to three minutes at maximum heat.
Leave the microwave door closed for a few minutes after it has been switched off to prevent all the steam from escaping.
Finally, wipe the inside of the microwave with a cotton cloth.
The same hack can be used in the oven too for 20 minutes on 200C.
Just ensure you use a oven-proof dish instead of a bowl.
Lemons can also be used to clean dishwashers overnight.
Put squeezed lemon in a bowl in an empty dishwasher overnight – it will make it smell fresh with little effort.
Lemons can be used to disinfect wooden chopping boards.
Rub a sliced lemon on a chopping board to remove stains and bacteria from the surface.
