If you don’t have a lemon available, you can use another citrus fruit, like a lime or an orange.
This will ensure that any juice still in the lemon will evaporate in the microwave to help remove dirt and debris.
If there’s still some water left in the bowl, microwave it for an additional 1-2 minutes until almost all of the water is evaporated.
If you don’t want to use a towel, you can use a damp sponge with a scrubbing pad to wipe the inside of the microwave. Remember to replace the turntable once the microwave is clean!
If you don’t have any caked-on food in your microwave, you shouldn’t need to add any vinegar to the lemon water.
If you don’t have any lemon water left, microwave a new batch for 2 minutes and let it stand for 5 minutes in the microwave. Then, use the leftover water to help remove the mark.
Be sure to wipe the area clean so there’s no baking soda left behind on the interior of the microwave.
