rubbing alcohol or hydrogen peroxide used to clean refrigerators?

Question

My family has a 10-year old refrigerator that gives off a somewhat strong oder. We tried cleaning up the fridge by using soap and water for the storage areas and such, but the smell won't go away. So, my dad tried this strong cleaning solution (smelled somewhat like ammonia) and poured the stuff in some type of bottom pan under the fridge, and that wasn't strong enough as well. I suggested to my dad that we should have poured in bleach because that would have killed all the bacteria. Now, I'm wondering if Hydrogen Peroxide or Rubbing Alcohol could work?

Answer 1

Hydrogen peroxide is very good and it is much safer than bleach.

Answer 2

With warm water, dilute a solution of organic iodine or chlorhexidine gluconate, and use a syringe to flush the wound thoroughly, careful not to miss any open pockets under the skin. Use very sharp scissors to cut away the necrotic tissue around the wound, and traumatize the healthy tissue into producing a swift healing response. This you must do whilst keeping the cat still and calm so you can do a good job. Keep the wound open with a warm damp cloth for a few days so that it does not scab over, the seepage needs to drain out of the body. If the wound closes too early, the seepage will collect under the skin and become an abscess. Repeat the flushing with the antiseptic solution daily for about 3 days, since you have no antibiotics to give, to keep infection at bay. If you can do all this at home and your cat's wound heals with no complications, then congratulations, you've accomplished what your vet would have done. If not and the wound abscesses or the cat bites the crap out of you because you don't have access to anesthetics, perhaps you should reconsider administering your own medical treatments at home.

Answer 3

Clorox will work but given the age of the fridge I would consider getting a new one, no matter how often you clean your fridge bacteria generated over years is not hygienic to save your food in it. Plus it will consume more energy than a new one.

Answer 4

No! You could possibly contaminate your food! Try the new Clorox spray; it's still got bleach in it to kill the germs and odors, but it's safe to use around food.
