It required putting a tube sock filled with salt in the microwave. Unfortunately, my sock caught on fire. Now I have a terrible smell in my microwave. I dont know if I can trust these cleansing methods, seeing how my sock caught fire. Yikes! I just tried a remedey on this site to get rid of swimmers ear.

Needless to say, that made the most God-awful smell. I'm pretty tolerant of bad smells (you have to be if you're a mother-LOL), but this was so bad I was nauseated. So my Mom had some of the Easy-Off Microwave Cleaning Packs. You put the unopened pack in the micro for 1 minute. Then using the heat activated wipe inside you wipe down the interior. They work so-so, so if anyone is thinking about using these, they only work only so-so. Not bad, but not what they claim. At any rate, I decided to check out your site and I'm going to try the 50/50 vinegar-water. I'll let you know before I post this how it works out. And here we go.... It worked OK, not as well as I had hoped. I used 1/2 C. water and 1 1/2 C. vinegar. Even though I had hoped it would have wokred better, it still made an improvement over what it had been before I used the vinegar/water idea. Thank you to everyone who created this site. It's been a life saved for me, especially when I have kids that, though they are 19, 11 & 9, make messed that would impress a 2 year old-LOL).

Everything we heated up came out tasting like the smell!!! I even burnt popcorn on purpose and was stuck with a sauerkraut/popcorn odor. I was about to throw the microwave away, but decided to try my neighbor's odor eliminator called What Odor? I never really believed in products like this, but now I do...this is the absolute best way to get rid of odor FOR GOOD!
