Help our microwave smells like a morgue!

My Dh came to me looking pale and traumatised. He said "I've cleaned the microwave......someone left a cup of tea in there". At first I thought "so???", but then he told me about the foamy brown gunk which heaved as if it were alive as he poured it down the sink. "and the stench" he said pausing for courage "it smelled like death".

When I got to the microwave it was gleaming, scrubbed clean by my brave and honorable Dh, but then the lingering smell hit my nose.

Presumably I can't use normal cleaning agents (bleach, detol etc) So what can I do ????????

Put a cup of water in with a slice of lemon in it. Put it on full power for 3-4 mins
