1. Microwave: Place a bowl of water with lemon slices inside and heat it for a few minutes to steam clean the interior. Wipe down the walls and door with a damp cloth afterward.
2. Oven: Make a paste of baking soda and water, apply it to the interior surfaces, and let it sit overnight. Scrub the next day and wipe clean for a sparkling oven.
3. Refrigerator: Remove all food items, shelves, and drawers. Clean them with a mixture of warm water and mild soap. Wipe down the interior of the fridge with the same solution, paying attention to spills and stains.
4. Dishwasher: Run a cycle with a cup of vinegar placed on the top rack to remove buildup and odors. Wipe down the edges and door seal with a damp cloth.
