To get rid of the smoke smell in a microwave, scrape off any burnt food residue and throw it away. Next, warm a cup of water in a microwave-safe container for three minutes. Then, dip a microfiber cloth into a mixture of water and a couple of drops of dish soap and wipe down the inside of the microwave. Dry the inside of the microwave with a fresh cloth and let everything air out for three hours.

Homeowner’s insurance will almost always cover fire damage and repairs unless your insurer finds the fire was caused intentionally. In most cases, if the fire was an accident, your provider will cover the cost of emergency services, like roof tarping and emergency securing, as well as the actual fire damage remediation and buildback to bring your home back to its previous condition. They should also cover alternative housing for as long as the fire damage restoration takes. You’ll just be responsible for paying the deductible.

Most insurance policies cover fire damage. Be sure to check the details of your policy to see how coverage is calculated—it can be either the full replacement cost of damaged materials and items or the actual cash value, which includes depreciation. When making a fire damage claim, be sure to get all the necessary documentation together to help expedite the process.
