I used acetone (from nail polish remover) right after I burnt the popcorn in the microwave..and it did the job!

Don't have a clue how to clean it - wanted to say that just knowing there are SO many OTHER people who have burned popcorn in their microwaves makes me feel immensely better. I did get rid of the odor in mine by using Clorox w/bleach spray, but the yellow may be there forever. I am going to try the acetate and then just give up and be happy with a yellow micro. Things could be worse.

I burnt popcorn in the microwave, the smell is gone but the inside is yellow. What can i use to make it white again?


I am writing to thank the person who said acetone free nail polish remover would remove the yellow stain in my microwave oven left after seriously burning a bag of microwave popcorn.
