I used to clean my microwave ( never replaced it after it broke ) by putting left over lemons in a bowl of water & heating it very hot them leaving for ten minutes. The steam helped shift oily splatters inside the microwave & the smell was lovely !<br /><br />I do use scented candles & those sticks in oil things as I'm aware that we have a wet dog smell lingering !!!BadPennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09889591351222591488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3045130122822978998.post-74902681133005648592011-11-02T13:10:29.557-07:002011-11-02T13:10:29.557-07:00Like your idea with the lemons.

My main complaint in the 'new' house we have is that cooking smells linger.<br />I also use Yankee Candles, they are sometimes more expensive than others but they work and the fragrance lasts.justjillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17253881958131548009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3045130122822978998.post-2830258405268983132011-11-02T04:47:30.958-07:002011-11-02T04:47:30.958-07:00I'm going to try it now!
