Washing in the microwave: life hack or fake

Of course, we are not talking about a full-fledged washing of bed linen or a set of clothes of a nimble boy. But when you need to quickly wash a couple of towels, and even with fruit juice stains, or return the original appearance of the former white socks, it turns out that nothing is better than a kitchen microwave oven in the household and no. The principle of operation of a microwave oven is such that it excites the movement of molecules in any product that is placed inside the oven. Namely, this is what is needed to wash dirt stains. The main thing is to choose the right mode. Therefore, we can immediately say that washing in the microwave is a real life hack, but not a fake.

What is a microwave oven

If you do not get into the jungle of physics and the essence of electromagnetism, then the main physical action that takes place in the furnace is the forced movement of molecules and atoms of the substance from which the product is made. When moving, the microparticles collide, and heat is released. And the forced to move, and even with a change of direction, occurs with a frequency of 2450 MHz, i.e. almost 5 billion times a second. This is a very high frequency, which is why the oven is called a microwave oven.

And if the heads are put in the microwave oven for 15-20 seconds, then the pure garlic will pop out of their skins by themselves.
