Vinegar steam clean.

Vinegar steam cleaning is another effective DIY method for removing microwave odors. Similar to lemon, vinegar's steam helps to loosen grime and baked-on food, making them easier to wipe away. Vinegar is particularly effective at neutralizing odors due to its acidic properties. While the vinegar scent is stronger initially, it dissipates quickly, taking unwanted microwave odors with it. This method is valued for its simplicity and effectiveness using a common household item.
