Does anyone have a tip on how to remove a horrible smell from the microwave and kitchen? My daughter tried to cook noodles in a plastic bowl and forgot to add water (lol). The microwave is stained and smelly. Please help,

We burnt some chicken pieces in the microwave and now it is repulsive! I just tried the baking powder and water for 3 min then let it stand for 5 min. I did it twice but still no result. What else can I try?

My mother always used celery. You can wipe your hands on a small chunk for smelly onion , fish etc. Or you can put it in water and boil to freshen the air from cooking smells. If you cook cabage or brussel sprouts, greens that linger, just put the celery stalk in the water with it. You can also do this if cooking crab, lobster fish or other steamed or boiled seafood or fresh water fish. Use the leaves also. This will help stop the odoor before it is a problem. If it already exists clean the kitchen area and proceed with the simmering celery on the stove or in the microwave. Eat it! Eat it raw to remove food after taste and to freshen breath, Like after onions or garlic or good stinky cheeses at parties and such when you cannot get away to brush and gargle.

If all else fails, put some fresh coffee grounds (not used grounds) in a shallow container (Jar lid is good) and let sit in there when you are not using it. They will absorb the odor and leave the microwave smelling like coffee. (A good smell)

chop a lemon and put in some water in a microwaveable dish. Nuke on high for about 3 minutes... let it stand overnite and repeat in the morning (make sure you still have water). Then wipe clean.
