Once you take the jug out of your microwave, you should simply wipe down the inside and door with a clean cloth. 

‘No more scrubbing,’ Mila captioned her video. 

‘Gently wipe the microwave and watch the grime slide off. The steam environment softens all the stubborn, baked-on food and makes it very easy to clean.’

To get the best night’s sleep, Mila recommends you strip the bed and vacuum the mattress, before you mix baking soda with essential oil and sprinkle over the mattress before leaving for several hours.

‘Wash the linen and sheets and don’t forget to wash your actual pillows and doonas every three to six months,’ she wrote.

Then, vacuum up the baking soda mixture, put back on your bedding, and finish with a linen spray to add a hotel-style finish.

The woman said you can also brighten your sheets with baking soda, which is a fantastic product for softening and brightening without leaving any residue.
