One night I started some popcorn for stringing on my tree and went to take a shower. When I came back the popcorn was burnt and the whole thing had exploded. This had never happened before so I started another bag and left the cleaning for the next day. So now as you can imagine my microwave is completely stained butter yellow and it's only a few months old. Baking soda and bleach have both failed me. Any ideas would be appreciated!

If it's stainless steel, use Scotch Brite Heavy Duty pad with Softscrub cleanser. But I think you are talking about white painted surface. Try Zap! but be careful, it is very strong (contains phosphoric acid). First try a small spot at some inconspicuous place like its ceiling. Saturate a small piece of paper towel with undiluted Zap! and stick it on the stained surface. Let it stand for 10 to 15 minutes, longer if needed. If it works, use the same method for the entire interior. If it is too strong and damages the paint, dilute Zap! Another cleaner you may want to try is Simple Green full concentrate. Same method.
Good luck.

Usually the easiest and safest way to clean a microwave is to wet a towel then ring it out. There still allot of moisture on the towel. Then put it in the microwave and run it for four minutes
Wait a couple and use a paper towel and wipe it clean.

You can try amonia. Its pretty cheap at grocery stores and stores like Walmart. But since you already tried bleach, it may be better to skip the amonia and go straight for the big guns. Try the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. It is said to get any stain off of any surface. Good luck! ♥

To get the sent out and to make it a little bit cleaner put lemon juice and wanter in a small container(DO NOT COVER THE CONTAINER UP) Then put the container in the microwave for about 2:30 on HIGH. When done i hope you like your results.
Happy cleaning :-)

Hmm..Do u have sodium bicarb?? Make a solution of this with an ammonium based cleaner. Leave awhile on the stain (apprx 1 hour) before you clean. Then clean up the stain.
Let me know if this works!

Just put another bag and have it explode to make sure the entire inside of the microwave is the same color. Problem solved! Consistency Pluff, consistency.

have you tried the simple hot water and dawn? I've tried just that before and it worked oddly enough. either wise mix 1 cup of bleach with a gallon of hot water. good luck!
