Hey folks! Just microwaved my heat pad a little too long and the cherry pits ended up burning slightly. It was only a small portion of the bag but the smell is stuck to me and taking over the house! Any idea how to tame it?

EDIT: Thanks for the replies everyone! I've had the windows open already but the vinegar was just placed so we'll see. Bowl eating and bag swallowing will be my next attempt if all else fails.

I find a lot of hard to get stains and smells can be removed by scrubbing with a paste made from baking soda and water, then wiping with diluted vinegar, rinse and dry.

Maybe microwave a bowl of water and some vanilla extract? Not sure if that is more than a temp fix

Little bowl of vinegar?

I drank one but the smell is still there.

Put a little bowl of vinegar in a bag of rice. Then drink it.

Don't you think the bowl could get stuck in your throat?

It's only a little bowl. I'd be more worried about the bag.
