Answer 6

White distilled vinegar diluted with plain tap water.  Heat on high about 4 minutes and then let set for about 5 minutes.  Wipe the vapor off the inside walls of the microwave and then set a small bowl of baking soda in there over night or for about 5 hours.  That should make it smell like new!!
