Removing dog odor from the bottom of our side-by-side refrigerator…?


Question:We purchased our house a couple months ago, the appliances came w/the house. The previous owners that a rottweiler, but there wasn’t a “dog odor” that we could smell. Recently I’ve noticed a smell around the area of our side-by-side refrigerator. I slid the refrigerator out & cleaned a bunch of dog hair, etc. from under it. I then vacuumed a bunch hair, etc. from the back. I removed the kick plate & vacuumed the condenser coils & any areas the vac would reach. I’m going to buy a condenser coil cleaning brush so I can clean further into the unit. My question is, after I do all of the brushing & vacuuming, what else can I do to eliminate the dog odor? I have a feeling that the previous owners never cleaned these areas, therefore the “dog odor” might be set in, & when the fan kicks on the odor is going to be blown out the back as it is today. Can I remove the condenser coils, get in there, & clean? Remove/replace the drain pan if there is one under the whole unit? Thanks!

My best friend had a similar problem when she bought her first house from a dog owner.

Try this spray called Approach. It's water-based and natural so you can spray it anywhere in the kitchen, inside the fridge, under the fridge, on the coils etc. Should get into every nook and cranny and eliminate any residual odors.

Give it a shot it's a miracle worker!

Good luck!


Baking soda.
