Answer 2

Put fresh ground coffee in a bowl inside the microwave (after it has been cleaned). Empty the bowl every day and add fresh coffee. This may take several days. A slight coffee odor may remain, but will disappear after washing again with baking soda solution. I have tried this in our deep freezer. It was full of food and some how it got unplugged. We didn't know if for quite a long time and it was really bad. The coffee worked for us. As for the smell in the apartment I have boiled vinegar on the stove and then just let it set for a little while. You can also put small containers of vinegar in different places around the apartment for a few days. Spray Febreeze on the carpet, furniture, curtains etc.
