Mrs Hinch, whose real name is Sophie Hinchliffe, 32, has long been a fan favourite, with close to 4.5million followers on Instagram.

The star rose to fame a few years ago with various home hacks and now her fans have even started dedicated cleaning pages on social media.

In one such group, Mrs Hinch Cleaning tips and tricks on Facebook, a member sought advice: "What does everyone use to clean the inside of a microwave?”

Not only can food particles leave stubborn stains but they can also become a breeding ground for germs and bacteria if not cleaned regularly.

And there was one tip that kept popping up in the comments, the Express reports.

Taking to the comments, one wrote: “Lemon juice in water and put on high for a couple of minutes. Stains will wipe off.”

"I use lemon juice. It also leaves a lovely fresh smell afterwards.” Another added.

A third commented: “Lemon in a bowl of water for five minutes.”

“I also use lemons, great 21p hack for sparkling microwaves," another user suggested, saying: "Seriously, lemons are your best friend when it comes to cleaning, they can be used for loads of different jobs.”

Lemon juice evaporates and clings to food particles and grease, making them easy to wipe away.

Plus the PH balance and antibacterial properties of lemons makes it a great natural cleaner, while leaving a fresh smell behind.

Lemons can be purchased from Sainsbury's for as little as 30p.

Other cleaning fans recommended using Elbow Grease to help get rid of stubborn stains.
