Question from ep
Someone cleaned my microwave with an all purpose cleaner by 7th Generation. I cannot get the smell of the cleaner out and I’m afraid the scent and/or chemicals left behind are leaching into our food when we use the microwave. It has been a couple of months, and I’m still smelling it. I’ve tried to clean it with soap and hot water and have tried boiling lemon water in the microwave but nothing has helped. Is this odor harmful for our food and can you suggest what I can do to get rid of the odor?
Debra’s Answer
This doesn’t sound right to me. The odor shouldn’t linger that long.
I would contact Seventh Generation and ask them how to solve the problem.
Better yet, stop using your microwave.
