How to clean a kitchen towel in the microwave in 2 minutes

A microwave oven is a versatile device that can be used for more than just heating food. Still, not all housewives know that you can wash a kitchen towel in the microwave.

A life hack will help you deal even with old stains. The Internet has explained how to use a microwave for washing. Here are the detailed instructions.

How to wash a kitchen towel in the microwave

- Choose a container in which you can soak the towel and which will fit in the microwave.

- Add bleach in the proportion of 100 g per 1 liter of water.

- Soak the towel but not completely. The water should not cover the entire towel. Cover the container with a microwave-safe lid. Set the power to medium. Place the container with the towel inside and turn on the microwave. The washing time is 10-15 minutes.

- This method will help if the fabric already has a lot of old stains that cannot be washed in the usual way. In the microwave, the textiles will boil well and the dirt will be removed.

There is another equally interesting method:

- First, soak a towel and rub the stains with bleach or laundry detergent.

- Then use a freezer bag. If you don't have one, take a cellophane one. Put the towel in the bag and microwave it for 1.5 minutes. Important: leave the bag open to avoid an explosion.

- After washing, carefully pull out the bag with tongs as it will be very hot. The stains will come off. Rinse the towel under running water and dry it.

Never use a microwave to wash a kitchen towel if it contains more than 70% synthetic. The microwave may malfunction.
