Help me get rid of this stench


Recommended Posts

dd11 did that during the summer with mac and cheese in the microwave -- we threw the microwave away. Well actually, we moved it outside and when we did, the smell was gone, so then we moved it to the curb. When the mac and cheese burned, there was thick gray smoke everywhere -- I know just what you are talking about. Turns out there was actually a tiny cut in the bottom of the mac and cheese container and that was what caused the entire thing - a leak.

Microwave a couple of tablespoons of lemon juice in water, then wipe down the walls with a damp rag. It helps with those burnt smells. :)

When my son vaporized some bagel bites last winter in our microwave, I did the above. Except I just cut up lemons and put them in a bowl of water and zapped that for a few minutes. I took a few times of doing it, but it eventually got rid of the burnt smell.

I was thinking lemons, too.

 

maybe put it in the garage overnight?
