Are you tired of scrubbing away at your microwave to get rid of tough stains and grime? A clever TikTok user has shared a game-changing hack that makes cleaning your microwave a quick and easy task.

According to the user, all you need is water and dishwashing detergent to get the job done. Simply mix one cup of water with one teaspoon of detergent in a jug, then place the jug in the microwave and heat it for four minutes.

After the four minutes are up, leave the jug in the microwave for another four minutes before opening the door. This creates a steam environment that softens tough, baked-on food and makes it easy to wipe clean with a microfiber cloth.

As the user explains, 'The steam environment softens all the stubborn, baked-on food and makes it very easy to clean.'

The video has received hundreds of likes and praise from like-minded savvy cleaners, with one person commenting, 'Wow thank you!!'

So next time you're faced with a dirty microwave, try this simple hack and say goodbye to scrubbing!
