What's the best thing to get rid of a bad smell from a fridge ?
Answers:
Wash down with solution of washing up liquid to clean the liner first then wipe down all of the surfaces with a solution of bi-carbonate of soda and water .
Sometimes a piece of charcoal will assist - BBQ stuff is OK but not the briquettes.
If it is a self defrosting fridge check that the drain at the back and pipe down to the evaporation tray on the top of the compressor is clear and clean.
If the inner foam lining is full of maggots you will not be able to get rid of the smell. This sometimes happens if the fridge has been switched off and the contents go bad!
bleach
Clean the fridge first. Then, open a fresh box of baking soda and leave it in the fridge. Baking soda absorbs odors.
clean it out!!!!!!!!
best thing for a bad smell in a fridge a lemon!
Clean it.
Pieces of charcoal will do the trick. Find out what is causing the bad smell, first. Could be leaking refrigerant.
They say a simple small peice of coal is good to take in all the bad odour.
Nothing like keeping it clean at all times - odour wont come in.
clean it out yes .no bleach ..just boiled water .and a slice of lemon or orange it leaves that lovely fruity smell.
a bowl of bicarbonate of soda stood in the fridge for a day then clean with lemon juice,be careful with bleach it will ruin the seals if you get it on them!
keep a charcoal in the fridge to absorb the bad smell. Replace the charcoal after few days.
HUSBAND!
1, You get your husband off his @rse and get him to clean the fridge.
2, Nice clean, odourless fridge.
half a lemon,take out the middle and fill with either salt or coffee beans (crushed) or try bicarbonate of soda left open in the fridge.
Clean the fridge first and then cut up a fresh lemon and leave it on a plate inside for a day or two. Also you could rub some of the lemon on the inside too.
It works for me.Good Luck
first off clean it then put some cat litter onto a stocking or cut up a pair of tights and put it at the back of the fridge, the cat litter absorbs all the minging smells
sound freaky but got it one of the keep ur house clean programs
Best thing to do is take everything out, clean throughly with detol, then place a 'fridge freshener' on one of the shelves. No more bad smells, Just make sure all spills are cleaned up as soon as they are made and put opened food it sealed tubs or cover with clingfilm.
Clean with a warmed lemon then sprinle in some bicarbonate of soda leave for a while then take that out and then leave an open tub of bicarbonate of soda in there.
backing soda if left in ref.&freezer works i use it all the time it absorbes oders.dube4704@yahoo.com.
Well, i nicked a pair of wifeys tights, then used the toe as a bag, filled with crushed barbecue charcoal.Great. To remove the smell from the charcoal to re-use, leave your bag of charcoal outside on a warm day. I used the 'bag of charcoal method' when furniture etc in store for a year, no smell in fridge, dishwasher or washing machine. Dont do what I did, and use the charcoal on a barbeque later, piquant or unusual odours!!!
Wrap foods or store them in containers whenever possible and keep a pack of pure baking soda in the fridge to prevent odors.
Clean it out thoroughly.
an open box of baking soda will abosrb moisture and some odors.
try a slice of fresh lemon it usualy works
hi cut an onion inhalf and place in fridge
Thoroughly clean the entire interior with a cloth and a baking soda/ water solution. 1qt.water/1tbs.bakeing soda. After cleaning place a small open container with pure vanilla extract in the ref. section. Imitation vanilla extract will not work. The vanilla adsorbs the odors and gives off a nice odor of it's own. You could also place a few charcoal briquettes wrapped in a paper towel in there and or a box of baking soda. The odor will diminish as the unit cools down to normal operating temperature after cleaning and the added items will usually adsorb most of the unpleasantness.
this works great, get some 20 mule team borax. you can find it where you buy your laundry soap. its works great on alot of things.it is excellent for cleaning and deodorizing your refrigerator lingering odors and spilled food can be washed away with a sponge using a solution of 1 quart warm water and 1 table spoon 20 mule team borax then rinse thoroughly with cold water
