I didn't want to hijack the housewifery thread, and I've had a few questions about what on earth I was doing, trying to dry a bra in the microwave.
Sometimes, when I was running short of...um...personal laundry, I would hand wash something in the sink, toss it in the microwave to dry, and then get dressed for work.
This worked fairly well with those little cotton bras that you pull on, that don't have any...um...infrastructure.
So, one morning, in a tearing hurry, I threw a freshly washed bra into the microwave, completely forgetting that this one did have...um...infrastructure. Specifically, metal underwire and metal hooks at the back.
I heard a sparking noise, and then looked over to see that the bra had burst into flames inside the microwave.
I yanked the power cord, put out the fire, and then tried the aforementioned vinegar-coffee-vinegar thingy to clean up the resulting mess of charred bra-bits and melted elastic.
The vanilla-cinammon thing worked to get the horrible charred elastic smell out of my apartment.
Since then, I have always made sure to have enough personal laundry ready the night before.
