In a world where speed and simplicity matter, this one-minute kitchen trick is a total game-changer. All it takes is a cup of vinegar in the microwave, and suddenly, stubborn messes and lingering smells disappear—no scrubbing, no harsh chemicals.
Why Vinegar Works So Well
Vinegar (especially white distilled vinegar) is naturally acidic, which makes it a great cleaner. The acetic acid in vinegar helps dissolve:
-
Grease and food residue
-
Mineral deposits
-
Stubborn odors
And when heated in the microwave? The steam softens dried-on food so it wipes away easily.
