How do you get the odor out of a microwave?

I was making microwaveable popcorn and I put the wrong time to cook. It overcooked and the bag caught fire. It stained the inside of the microwave and made a terrible odor. I got most of the stain out of the microwave but not completely. I have sprayed Febreeze inside, also room deodorizers. Can anyone give assistance in removing the odor? Thank you! Have a good day!

How do you get the odor out of a microwave?
The stain is for ever. Sorry. Mixing baking soda and vinegar or lemon juice on the sponge and immediately wiping the fuzzing sponge all over the interior and door gasket.......followed by several plain water rinses should help with the smell. But the rest is caught in the air vents. Fill a large glass bowl or large measuring cup (4 cups) with water and add cinnamon, cloves, lemon or orange peel, whatever nonchemical stuff you have on hand and microwave it for 10 minutes (hence a big bowl of water) The scent should displace the burned popcorn smell. Be sure to wipe out the microwave as the steam can promote mildew inside the machine.....I wipe and leave the door open as well.





There is also a product called Smells Be Gone solid, you could put that inside the micro for a week or so.
Reply:The staining can be removed by using a damp cloth and baking soda. Use the baking soda as you would use cleanser. Dip the damp cloth in the powder and rub the stain, Unless the stain is actually scorching from the fire this should remove the stain.





Place 1/4 cup of vinegar in the microwave and cook it on full power for 1 1/2 minutes. That will take care of the odor.
Reply:That%26#039;s ironic, because the same thing happened to me. The stain never did come out %26amp; the odor finally left, after many cleanings with Windex glass cleaner. The ammonia helped cut the odor but nothing got the stain completely out. I just thought of maybe making a paste of baking soda %26amp; water %26amp; use that to bleach out the stain. It%26#039;s worth a try. Good luck!
Reply:Why not try some Baking Soda mixed in a bucket of water... soak, then scrub the inside and see if it works... if it can help


your %26#039;frig, why not your microwave???
Reply:Clean out the rest of the stain. Then put a box of Baking Soda in for about a day. There will be some lingering odor for awhile, but it will pass as you cook other things in the oven. Don%26#039;t make popcorn in there for awhile and when you do, stay right there by the microwave. That%26#039;s why there is a warning on the package to not leave the bag cooking. The time given is reletive and each bag pops at a different pace.
Reply:Lemon juice should do the trick. If not, try using vinegar.
