Recently, a person in my home who shall not be named for fear of moving this thread to the pit, put some popcorn in the microwave. for four minutes. on high. ignoring the popcorn setting, which is the first button on the microwave. not asking for help. just releasing billowing clouds of putrid smoke from my microwave oven. it filled the house and i had to go stay at my parents house because i just absolutely abhor that stench. the smell throughout the house has mostly dissipated, except for in my microwave. how can i possibly relieve myself of the horrid odor thats seemingly indelibly ingrained in my microwave?
Or in simpler terms, how do i get da funk outta my mikerwave?
I recommend (sp?) doing this outside the house so when you leave the door open it doesn’t stink you up again. If you can’t, just get the oven close to the window, open the window and close the kitchen’s door.
Boil water. Leave oven open for a while (don’t bother removing the glass). Once the whole thing is cool, refill as needed and boil again. Repeat as many times as needed (shouldn’t take more than 3 or 4).
If you have goo in the oven, take the glass off with a mittened hand and use a washcloth to wipe the stuff off. Don’t “fight” it, don’t use any kind of piercing or scratching tool, and again repeat as needed.
You don’t need to boil-boil, ok? Sometimes if the glass is new, it will be hard to get the water to break into a boil, so just seeing that it’s steaming hard is good.
