How best to remove the stuborn smell of burnt popcorn from a microwave oven?

Question

We've tried lemon juice, and, of course, various cleaners, like 409, et al.

Answer 1

Try putting charcoal in it and then leave for about 15 - 30 minutes and its gonna be ok...I try putting it in our stinky refridgerator and it works!

Answer 2

I seen this on "How clean is your house" What they said to do is put some water in a bowl and squeeze lemon juice in it leave the lemon in it and microwave it for 30 seconds. Now ive never tried it cuz i never burned popcorn.

Answer 3

There are a few things you can try. Try all of them if you need to!

*Clean it with baking soda
*Leave an open box of baking soda in the (turned-off) microwave until the smell goes away
*Stuff it with newspaper, possibly with baking soda as well. Leave it there as long as you can, until the smell goes away. This works for gym bags and things like that. If you do this in your microwave, UNPLUG IT so that it will not come on by accident or anything.
*Just clean it as well as you can, and leave it open for a few days. The smell can't last forever. In the meantime, cook some yummy things in there, like cinnamon tea, apple-cinnamon muffins, etc.
