Using a large microwavable bowl (I prefer my 1 quart Pyrex glass measuring cup), place 3-4 cups of hot water and at least 1 cup of lemon juice (I buy in bulk, so I have tons to spare) in the microwave for 5-6 minutes (a little longer for those really dirty appliances, like moi). After it does it's biznas, allow the container to sit in the microwave for at least a minute. Remove (CAREFULLY AS IT WILL BE PIPPING HOT) and immediately use a damp sponge or paper towel to wipe out the microwave. The
Yay to that!
Plus, it leaves your microwave smelling of fresh lemon-ey goodness! I prefer to keep the door open for a bit to let the smell waft through my kitchen and I also leave the used lemon-water out for fragrance purposes too! I also like to pour the leftovers into the toilet as it does freshen the potty room a bit too. That might be a little odd, but who cares!??
Go forth and clean thy kitchen!
yay to this! lemon is the best clean smell. plus the toilet idea is great and resourceful :)
ReplyDeleteLove lemon, but if I could figure out orange.... Yuuuuummmm
ReplyDeleteYou know... if you buy 100% not from concentrate oj I bet it could work! It's the steam + the citric acid that makes this do such a great job. By George, I think we're on to something!
This is a great idea. I stumbled across one the other day. I had been grocery shopping and left some bags in my car overnight, one of which had dryer sheets in it. When I opened my car the next morning I was meet with a wonderfully clean smell of Snuggles. Since then I have left one dryer sheet under my passenger seat and it always smells so good in my car, not like a mixture of McDonald's fries and apple juice.
ReplyDeleteLove that Donya!
ReplyDeleteI ran to my car as soon as I read this and threw two in! Maybe it won't smell like a dog covered in Bounce with a side of cheez-it.... but here's hoping!
