how to make my fridge smell nice again

extreme__dude · April 2007

i went home over easter and foolishly forgot to leave the door on the frige open. as a result i came back to find a shit loads of mould growing inside, and now, weeks later it still smells despite my best effort of cleaning it

its so bad that i cant drink beer out the can any more cos even that smells!!!

put some cut lemons in there that should help.

good plan. but surely that will be a short term solution. any ideas to make it more permanent other than leaving it off to air for a year or two!

lemons have quite a strong persistant smell, also you can mix lemon juice with bicarb for cleaning mould off stuff (worked a treat on my hydration pack)

smell = bacteria, kill the bacteria. Use dettol spray or anti-bac wipes.

CILLIT BANG! BANG AND THE DIRT IS GONE. I have no idea if it works on fridges, but if it still smells you clearly havent cleaned it properly not like there's many places for smelly stuff to soak into in a fridge is it, I'd understand if you'd spilt something on a couch and couldn't get it out. Clean it properly, with decent cleaning stuff and let it air out over night (turn it off first, global warming and such)

i forgot to mention i'm a poor student! on the plus side, i just cleaned it with bleach. still smells a little but is better so hopefully it will go soon. stuck some lemon juice in there too.

cheers for the help guys

Bleach is good, i'm a fan of flash spray bleach because it is easy to clean. Also you need to check the drip catcher at the back, if you take out the shelves you should see a small hole at the back, check it isn't full of ming, then pull the fridge out and there should be a small open contain at the base of the back of the fridge, empty out anything that is in there as smells often collect there and drive you mad.

Speaking from experience,

two teaspoons of bicarb, and add that to a quart warm water, give the fridge a scrub, and the smell SHOULD go away, failing that, put some bicarb of soda on a little plate, and leave it in the fridge, it 'soaks' the smell up, and it should stop smelling as much.

I used a saucer of instant coffee granules when i dropped a rotten egg in my fridge.

Worked a treat.

Just spread a few desert spoons of instant coffee granules on a saucer or sideplate, put it on a shelf in the fridge and it absorbs the smell. Don't ask how, it just does!

Take everything out of it, shelves and all. Go to your local chain resteraunt and kindly ask for some D12 [pretty much industrial anti-bac], bring it home, spray into fridge all over including shelves, wipe out, dead bacteria [:)]

My fridge currently smells of burps, due to the main content of vegetables, milk, and a couple of sandwiches.
