Man says we've all been cleaning the microwave wrong and people are kicking themselves

A man has shared a hack that will completely change the way you clean your microwave - and people are kicking themselves for not realising it sooner.

Sidney Raz is TikTok famous thanks to his videos where he shares things that he wishes he realised sooner, and recently he's turned his attention to kitchen appliances.

He said that he discovered a way to clean the microwave that is incredibly simple, and from his demonstration, it looks like it works really well.

All he needed for the method was a bowl of water and a lemon, which he places the bowl in the microwave before turning it on - then after a while, all it needs is a quick wipe.

What do you think about Signey's cleaning trick? Let us know in the comments...

Taking to TikTok, where he uploads as @sidneyraz, he said: "Here's something I didn't know until I was in my 30s - how to clean the microwave.

"Take some lemon water, microwave that for like a minute and a half and it should wipe out more smoothly."

He then goes over to his 'gross' microwave and says "yep, that works - that works", while wiping off all the dirt and grime.

Soon his clip had over 500,000 likes and thousands of comments, and people couldn't believe how simple the trick was.

One said: "Thank God you're showing me when I'm still young."

Then another added: "Now you have no excuse not to clean your microwave."

And a third wrote: "A lot of people don’t even know that they’re supposed to clean it out."

Another follower had heard of the tip and added their own twist. They said: "It works even better when you microwave it for five to ten minutes and then leave it in there for 15 more minutes."

Previously, we reported how Sidney shared an advice video titled 'You can actually sleep on a flight ', and claimed that travel pillows should actually go at the front of your neck and clip around the back, rather than the other way round.

He said: "Here's something I wish I knew before I was in my 30s. Travel pillows go in front," while putting the padding under his chin and adding: "Mm, I'm so comfy."

After seeing hundreds of people all wear the pillows the same way at airports and on flights, viewers were left stunned after giving it a go themselves and realising they had been making a huge mistake for years.
