My fridge stinks and I can't get rid of the smell! Any ideas???

Question

I had crab legs in the fridge and some of the liquid leaked...now it smells like fish. I have wiped and sprayed and it still smells! Any ideas???

Janet Pizaro · Answer

Use white vinegar and then place open boxes of baking soda inside.

Nancy Turner · Answer

Try vinegar water, if it can rid of cat urine odor, it should work on the fishy smell. Check under the drawers to make sure it didn't seep down there and in the areas the drawers and shelves sit on. You could also try putting a box of baking soda in the fridge as it absorbs odors.

Put a container of charcoal briquettes (not match light) in a container in the fridge and shut the door. The more the better! Let sit for 24 hrs. Remove them and place in the sun to air a few hours, then place back in the fridge. Repeat till smell is gone. I usually work with 2 containers, one for in the fridge and one airing out and swop out daily. I used this method in a chest freezer and it worked wonderfully.

Keep boxes of baking soda in fridge and freezer and replace once a month. Take the 'used' baking soda and sprinkle in toilets and drains to freshen them up too. When they are on sale for 50 cents a box, I buy a bunch of them.

I agree to look at the bottom of the fridge for anything that's dripped. ACTIVATED charcoal is the type that absorbs odors! It's found at the pharmacy, grocery, etc. Fresh air and sun will 'reactivate' it by releasing the already absorbed odors.

Plain white vinegar, undiluted will clean and deodorize, be sure to get it into the guides for the shelves.
