Cleaning the kitchen is often one of those chores that can feel like a never-ending battle against grime and grease.

However, what if there was a way to make at least one task in the kitchen a breeze?

Well, prepare to have your minds blown and your cleaning routines transformed with a simple yet effective kitchen trick that's taking the internet by storm.


Gina DeMarco, a 48-year-old mum of three, shared a revelation on social media that has left many in awe—a quick and easy way to clean the microwave that will save you loads of time and energy.

In her video, which has since circulated, DeMarco demonstrated how she effortlessly removes the glass from her microwave door—a feature she was surprised to discover despite her years of cleaning experience.

The trick is straightforward: DeMarco showed that by simply popping open her 2018 Whirlpool Microwave door, she could extract the glass using her left hand while steadying the microwave door with her right.

‘The glass slides out so that you can clean the inside,’

‘I am 48 years old, and I never knew it did that,’ she exclaimed in her video, which resonated with millions of viewers.


The response to DeMarco's video was so overwhelming that she posted a follow-up to provide a more detailed explanation after nearly 200,000 users flooded her original post with comments.

In her second video, she reassured viewers that there are no special buttons or levers required—the glass simply slides out, revealing another layer of glass underneath that can also be cleaned.

‘There are no buttons over here, there's no lever, I do not have a handle on the front, there's nothing over here,’ she pointed out.

‘When you slide the glass out, there is glass under that also, which is on the inside.’

She securely inserted the glass back into the microwave door prior to shutting it.

‘I know it's not all microwaves. It is this microwave, and maybe if you have one that does it, yay for you, too,’ DeMarco said.


While many users expressed their gratitude to DeMarco for sharing this tip, others found that their microwaves did not accommodate the glass removal trick.

‘Not me walking to my microwave only to realise mine doesn’t do that,’ one user lamented.

Other users thanked DeMarco for sharing the cleaning tip, with one individual mentioning that they ‘never knew’ it despite cleaning houses for eight years.

‘I just checked mine, and it does. I can’t stand that I couldn’t get that cleaned, but now I can clean it,’ another commented.
