No, it’s not to heat up your favorite dish or defrost meat, this time the microwave has another use. This heat source will now be your best ally to disinfect your dish towels in no time and without scrubbing them. Ready to find out how this trick works? Hey, it’s really simple, just put the dirty dish towels in the microwave!
Wait, don’t rush to throw them directly on the turntable of this appliance, but first immerse them in a basin full of hot water mixed with Marseille soap, white vinegar or lemon juice if the traces are really rooted in the fabric. Let them eliminate all the dirt and food residues, if there are any. This step consists of removing traces of oil and grease from the tea towels to eliminate any risk of ignition when put in the microwave. Then simply wring them out and move on to the next step.
All you have to do is put them in a ziplock bag and microwave them for 90 seconds on high. Disinfection guaranteed!
