The mum-of-two explained that you should start by mixing two cups of water with one tablespoon of dish soap and one cup of lemon juice in a bowl of water.
‘Heat the solution for five minutes in the microwave,’ Carolina said.
‘The steam will loosen up any gunk in your device.’
Following this, wipe down the inside with a warm wet sponge, and you should see all of the dirt and grime easily dislodge.

Thousands who saw the trick said they love the idea and the fact that you can clean your microwave without using harsh and toxic cleaning detergents.
‘I’ve tried this and it works like magic,’ one commenter posted.
‘I’m trying this on my super nasty microwave later on,’ another added.
Others suggested cutting a lemon in half and heating it for 30 seconds, before rubbing it through your microwave.
‘I only do a bit of lemon and water for two minutes and boom. Not even two cups of water, maybe half a cup. I also use the same water to clean all my other appliances. They shine,’ one commented.

Previously, Carolina has shared cleaning videos on many different subjects, including how to deep clean your dishwasher.
The mum-of-two said the dishwasher can easily build up with dirt and grime, so you should prioritise giving it a clean at least once a month to ensure it functions properly.
‘This is my quick and easy way to clean a dishwasher,’ Carolina posted on TikTok.
All you need is some baking soda and white vinegar.
To clean your machine, Carolina said you should first sprinkle some baking soda into the machine behind the bottom rack.
‘Leave the baking soda for one hour so that it absorbs fully,’ Carolina said.
Following this, set your machine to a heavy cycle, and then open it midway through the cycle and pour in two cups of white vinegar.

‘Resume the cycle until it’s complete,’ Carolina said.
You should end up with a machine that is clean and free from debris and buildup.
The reason why the trick works is because the vinegar will break down any remaining bits of food, grease, soap scum, residue, and any other leftover grime.
Meanwhile, baking soda helps to remove stains and freshen the overall smell of your machine.
