My mother's microwave oven has an unpleasant odor, tainting the food she heats.
About two weeks ago, she heated a cat toy (catnip), to refresh it. She did it for 2 minutes, not realizing that was wayyyyy too long. 20 seconds maybe. It burned and her microwave is now very odiferous.
We boiled baking soda in water yesterday. Any tips, from experts? I cleaned houses professionally and never encountered this one.
Ground coffee is used to deodorize drawers, cabinets, etc... I don't know how it could be used in a microwave though....
Ok seriously “Fabrezze” worked for doggie odor on our couch.
So maybe for burnt in cat nippy odor it will work 2.
Good Luck Gurl Friend,

I found it! This is such a kewl article! I am going to try some of them. Use cut lemons or vanilla extract to kill the odour. A friend of mine taught me to freshen my kitchen by simmering cinnamon and water on the stove for a few minutes.

To give your microwave a clean,fresh smell,place a bowl of water in it and add 3or4 slices of fresh lemon or 2 tablespoons of lemon juice. Cook high 30 to 60 seconds. For the very worst odors place vanilla extract in a bowl for at least 30 seconds. Leave the door closed for 12 hours, remove the vanilla and wipe down the inside of the microwave.
Thank you everyone, guys and girls. Those are great ideas. I'll let you know how it works.
Vinegar.... Vinegar cleans everything.
I run a pot of vinegar water threw my coffee pot every so often to clean it out
God, I hope one of those works for you, how awful to have a cat nip pizza!!!
When all else fails, . . . buy a new microwave.
