My fridge was broken for about a week and now I can't get the smell out after cleaning it, any suggestions?
Question:
Answers:
I'd put maybe 2 or 3 open boxes of baking soda on the shelves. It will absorb the odor.
Try charcoal. Just the regular kind that you use to barbeque.
so you have cleaned it. Get some clorox and water and wash it out. Then get some boxes of baking soda and open them, and put in fridge.
You can put a container of fresh coffee inside overnight, the smell should go away. You might use a solution of Hot soapy water and vinegar, wipe the fridge down real good, Do this first and you might not need the coffee. Depends on how bad the smell is.
crumple up some newspapers and let them in the fridge over night .
Charcoal - someone else mentioned this too. I found the perfect product that I've used for years and know dozens of other people that use it. Much better than baking soda. It is a product called FRIDGE IT carbon odor absorbers. It is a little purple cube with an incredible activated carbon filter inside that is really, really, great. The carbon literally absorbs and eliminates the odors and works for a long time. It works so much better than baking soda and all those sprays and fragrances that just cover up smells and doesn't get rid of them. Just put one in your refrigerator and one in your freezer. I use this product everywhere including car(smoke and pet smells), storage, closets, my fridge and also under sinks, near trash and have friends that use it on cat litter box and also diaper pails - it's that good. I really recommend it. You can buy it in kitchen gadget sections in stores like walmart and linens and things. I also think camping world sells it. Definitely worth trying
