Burnt popcorn smell lingers in microwaves so badly, some offices ban it from break rooms. It’s notorious, but completely removable.
If your microwave harbors its own dirty Pop Secrets, try this cleaning tip we got from Frigidaire.
Microwave Odor Removal
You’ll need:
- 1 cup water
- juice of 1 lemon
- grated lemon peel
- several whole cloves
Combine together in a 2-cup glass measuring cup and boil for several minutes in the microwave on full power. Allow hot mixture to sit in the microwave until cool. Wipe interior with a soft cloth.
Though this tip wasn’t specifically written for burnt popcorn, I can’t think of much else that smells up a microwave. Help me out in the comments below!
You could squeeze half a lemon into some water and place the dish into the microwave. Place in the microwave on full power for two minutes. Once the water condenses inside the microwave wipe with a soft absorbent cloth. This will leave your microwave fresh and clean
But isn’t that what I just wrote? Comments like this make me feel ignored, haha 🙁
Thanks Julie! It worked 🙂
Really? Great. I haven’t had a chance to try it yet, so I’m glad to know it works. Thanks Kristina!
