Oh boy. Maybe try spraying one of those "smell neutralizers", the ones in a can?
Scrubbing the microwave with a combo of lemon juice and baking soda should help in there. For the house, have you tried Oust or Febreeze Air Effects?
I might run out to the store and buy all these things lol We have regular febreeze that I'll try. No odor nuetralizer sprays. I also read boiling lemon juice and peels might help. Can't hurt at this point...
I'm glad I haven't made my mini cheesecakes yet. Maybe that will help get rid of the smell!
That's why you always add boiling water to instant noodles! : D
As for the smell...do you have any other portable fans you can use to blow the smell out the window? I also second using some sort of odour "remover" (like Febreeze or Oust). Aside from that, I think it's probably just a waiting game.
Oh that sounds gross! All you can do is open up the windows and set up some fans to blow the stink out. It usually works for me anyways =\. After about 10 minutes it's a lot better. You could put some water with lemon in the microwave and let it go until it boils--that may help moisten the nasty crusties inside so you can wipe away the soot (and maybe the smell)
the smell seems to be fading except from the microwave. There's no crusties in it, just this yellow residue lol I'm going to try scrubbing that out I guess. It's giving me a headache.
If you have any cinnamon sticks or vanilla extract, put a few of them or a few teaspoons of vanilla and add enough water to fill a small pan. Bring to a boil, then lower and simmer for at least an hour. Keep checking to make sure there's enough liquid in the vanilla/water mixture or you'll have burnt pot smell too!
bowls of vinegar. sounds weird but its natural/cheap and really works.
Edit: small bowls of vinegar . i.e. finger bowls
Yeah, I boiled some water and vingar and have some sitting in bowls in the kitchen. The problem now is the microwave. I told DH we should just throw it out and go get a new one tomorrow. His mom made him bring it back in the house. Big. Problem. I'm beyond peeved. And DH just brushes it off. I dont care if he hates talking about this stuff because this is not crap that I'm going to stand for forever. If we don't come up with a resolution, then this marriage is not going to work.
Boil lemon water in the microwave, I would use a while sliced lemon and then just put a whole box of baking soda in it and leave it. As for the smell in the house boil cinnamon water on the stove or cloves. Works like a charm. FH forgets biscuits in the stove all the time, so I do this a lot, LOL.
he scrubbed it with soap and water... He doesn't think the smell is that bad so he's not going to do it. He actually went into the kitchen and said he didn't smell it anymore while I on the other hand have the smell stuck in my nose. I tried microwaving lemon juice but running the microwave just made the smell worse, which is when I decided we should just get a new microwave. It's back outside in the trash, but DH and I still need to have a serious talk.
Sorry to hear there's something more amiss =(
(PS i'd probably get a new microwave, too! and ban him from the ramen noodles, lol)
I had someone burn popcorn in our microwave. The smell never went away. Things you cooked in there had the faint aroma of burnt popcorn. I had to replace the microwave.
The house should be ok after some airing out :)
Try slicing up some lemon and putting it in a bowl with water and putting it in the microwave for 1-2 minutes. That will sort of steam the inside of the micro with the lemon smell. Also, if you haven't already done so, don't forget to take out the microwave tray inside and clean that good with warm soap and water.
charcoal
put small bowls of charcoal around the house, the smell should dissipate very shortly after. believe me, it works
thanks. The smell seems to finally have dissipated from the house. We just trashed the microwave and got a new one because I couldnt take the smell. We needed a new one anyway, so it kind of works out.

Ok, so DH was making himself some instant noodles in the microwave, but he forgot to add water... I won't knock him for that since the best of us can have absent mindedness, but i constantly tell him not to just set the microwave for 5mins and leave it without checking/stirring, so I think this could have been prevented that way, but I digress...
Either way, our apartment now reeks of burnt smell. We cracked the kitchen window, have a fan going plus the stove fans, I lit two candles, lit some matches, and put a couple bowls of vinegar out in the kitchen, including one in the microwave. It's bad ladies. The smell was even on DH's clothes and hair. Is there anything else I can do to make this go away faster? It's starting to hurt my nose lol I mean literally it's starting to bother my nose.
peeee-yew!!
Also, is the microwave salvagable, or is the stink always going to be there every time we use it now? It's not white inside anymore. It has a yellow stain all over that won't come off.
sigh. happy new year to us lol.
