“Remember to clean the vent under your microwave” the TikTok video read.
The video showed a sink full of water with a mix of “dish soap, vinegar, and hot water” poured into it.
@anxietyscrubs recommends letting the vent sit for 30 minutes in the solution.
“I can’t do this with one hand,” the voiceover said while hands scrub the grates of the vent.
