Now that you have all your tools and materials ready, let's get rid of that awful smell...
Clean the microwave
Alright, first things first: let's clean that microwave. Make sure it's cool, because safety first, right? Grab a damp cloth or sponge, mix a few drops of mild dish soap with warm water, and get to work. Wipe down the entire interior, paying extra attention to those stubborn stains or burnt popcorn residue. Remember to clean the top of the microwave and the door too. And don't forget to dry it off with a clean cloth!
Got a really stubborn spot? Try a baking soda and water paste. Apply, let it sit for a few, and then wipe it away.
Use baking soda
Baking soda to the rescue! Fill a microwave-safe bowl with warm water and add 2 tablespoons of baking soda. Mix it up, pop it in the microwave, and heat on high for 2-3 minutes. The baking soda solution will evaporate and absorb that nasty burnt popcorn smell. Carefully remove the bowl (it's hot!) and let it cool down before tossing the solution.
Still smells? Just repeat the process until it's gone.
Use vinegar
Vinegar is a magical cleaner, isn't it? Mix 1 cup of water and 1 tablespoon of white vinegar in a bowl, and then heat it on high for 5 minutes. The steam will help loosen any burnt popcorn residue and eliminate the smell. Easy peasy.
Use Lemon
Lemon to the rescue! Squeeze the juice from half a lemon into a microwave-safe bowl, fill it with water, and heat on high for 3 minutes. The heat releases the lemon's natural oils, neutralizing that burnt popcorn smell. Don't forget to remove the bowl when it's done!
Use vanilla extract
Vanilla isn't just for cookies! Mix it with water in a microwave-safe bowl, heat on high for 3 minutes, and let the released scent work its magic. Take out the bowl, and you're good to go!
Use coffee grounds
Who knew coffee grounds could save the day? Add a thin layer to a microwave-safe bowl, pour in half a cup of water, and heat on high for 2-3 minutes. Leave the bowl in the microwave for 15-20 minutes, or longer if needed, to let the coffee grounds absorb the smell. Then, toss the used grounds.
Use charcoal briquettes
Charcoal briquettes aren't just for grilling! Spread them evenly in a microwave-safe bowl, and leave them in the microwave for several hours or overnight. They'll absorb the smell like a pro. Then, carefully remove and discard the charcoal.
Use orange peels
Orange peels to the rescue! Quarter an orange or just use the peels, cover them with water in a microwave-safe bowl, and heat on high for 3-4 minutes. The released citrus scent will help eliminate the smell. Remove the bowl and toss the peels when you're done.
Use essential oils
Aromatherapy, anyone? Choose a pleasant essential oil like lavender, lemon, peppermint, or tea tree oil. Fill a microwave-safe bowl with water, add a few drops of the oil, and give it a good stir. Heat the mixture on high for 2-3 minutes, and let the steam and oil scent do their thing. Afterward, remove the bowl and enjoy the fresh aroma.
Air out the microwave
Now, after using any of these methods, give the microwave a final wipe-down with a clean cloth or sponge. Then, leave the door open for a few hours, or even overnight, to let it air out. Place the microwave near an open window or a fan if possible. This ensures that any lingering smell is completely gone.
