I didn't have sliced lemon but used frozen lemon cubes that I keep in the freezer. It worked great. I'll use this again. Made for I Recommend Tag Game 2010. -
Something so simple worked so well - used fresh lemon slices. Will definately use again. -
What a fun way to freshen the microwave! And it works! I used ground cloves and also added some nutmeg, a splash of vanilla extract, and some fresh ginger slices. Yum! The whole kitchen smells great...way better than chemical air fresheners. This is easy, cheap (since you probably have all the ingredients on hand), and versatile. I will definitely do this again. Thanks for posting. -
Yes siree! I have been cooking all day! This works! I think realtors use this also. When they are showing a house or an Open House, that what the kitchens smell like, very appealing!
