Cleaning Burnt on Stains in a Microwave?

I was heating a dry towel in my microwave and the towel burnt and left burn marks on the inside of the microwave. I put baking soda and vinegar inside to take away the odor. It doesn't have an odor unless I have something something in for longer than 5 minutes, then the microwave has that burnt smell. I'm sure it's because I can't get the burnt marks off. I've tried a baking soda paste and even a soapy Brillo pad, but I just can't get the stains off. Is there anything short of buying a new microwave that someone could suggest?

We had a burn mark in our new microwave due to a small metal tie around a package of frozen hamburger rolls. We tried all the products we learned on the internet. Nothing worked. I then remembered the Quixx scratch remover I had bought for a scratch on our car. I followed the directions and it really removed the burn mark and all the discoloration. We were amazed.

Use the finest steel wool with some soapy water to remove scorched stains. I tried baking soda, vinegar, lemon, all to no avail.

Nail polish remover acetone lightened the stain, but didn't remove it.

Are you concerned with the Quixx causing health issues when heated especially with food you are going to ingest?

After cleaning up the burnt mess and the yellow, I had to clean up the boiled-over coffee. Then I put the 2 Tbsp of coffee and 1/2- 1 cup of water into a quart glass measuring cup to give it plenty of room to boil for a couple of minutes and not spill over.

I let it sit for 5 minutes and did it again. Then I left it in the microwave for a while to allow the steam to go through the vent. It worked somewhat, but I still will give the vinegar a try (or lemon juice or vanilla or cinnamon).
