My fridge always smells pretty bad.
I clean it quite often but the various foods leave it smelling again, is there something I can use to give it a nice smell?

In addition to the suggestions about keeping food in closed containers and putting in a box of baking soda I've also heard that putting in a bowl of coffee grounds can help absorb the odors. Haven't tried it myself but it might be worth a try. Also, if you have an ice maker be sure that there's nothing clogging the water line.

Use baking soda to clean the fridge. Be sure all the drawers are clean in the cracks. Line the drawers with paper towels & change them every few days. Put an open box of baking soda in the fridge. Throw away all the shrunken heads!

Switch it off, empty it and clean it with an antibacterial or sanitising solution, finally put in the food back in, and something that you like the smell of. All the food you put in the fridge should be covered with lids or cling film.
P.S. Don't forget to switch it back on.

Try putting an egg cup of Bicarbonate of Soda in the fridge. It absorbs loads of nasty smells very well.

Clean your fridge with a solution of baking soda and water.
Then put a piece of coal in your fridge; it will absorb odours.
Repeat when necessary.

Clean it out with warm water and vinegar and then keep a open container of baking soda in there change it every three months and be sure to cover your food.

Baking soda will do the trick most of the time. And in the freezer. Might try bleaching it first and wash it out real good and then use the baking soda.
