What is the best way to get a rancid smell out of a freezer?
Our freezer went unplugged for a week and the food went bad. It has been cleaned and disinfected, but still has a lingering stink. What is the best way to remove that?

Hi Michele, you could try baking soda, leave a box open inside of it (or several boxes...) it should help absorb the smell within a few days.
Try putting a flat dish of baking soda inside. Vinegar might also help. I'd do dishes of both (in separate dishes, not mixed).
Hi Michele, I would wipe it down with baking soda and water. Let it sit a little while so that the baking soda can absorb the smell. Wipe it out with clear water. You may have to do it a few times.
This worked for me with a cooler that had a similar odor. Wad up newspaper pages, enough to spread around inside. Close and leave for a couple of days. Open and discard newspaper into recycle bin. (By the way, when chicken goes bad it's the worst of the worst.)
Activated charcoal. Find it where they sell aquarium supplies. Pour it into a couple of bowls and place them in your freezer.
