I live in a dorm and somehow me and my roommate both forgot to completely empty the freezer compartment of our mini fridge before we left for winter break! The stuff in the freezer obviously went bad, and the smell is revolting. I'm am still in the process of cleaning it, cuz I just got back, but what are some good ways to get rid of the smell fast? Please HELP :-(

You'll have to defrost that freezer and clean it with a solution of vinegar and water. After that, give the fridge a clean with warm, soapy water. Then, leave some charcoal in a large pan at the base of your mini-fridge, until the stench lessens. Outside the fridge, leave a slice of bread soaked with vinegar, in a plate, every day; discard each slice used for this purpose every night, until the odour is completely gone. Also, clean the rubber seals of your fridge with some toothpaste and a small brush, and wipe off with a warm, wet cloth. It's always a good idea - disaster or no disaster - to leave an opened packet of soda bicarb in a fridge.

VINEGAR--it stinks, but will safely clean your fridge and freezer. After cleaning, leave the fridge open before plugging it back in to get rid of the smell.

I ahve done the exact same thing when I was at uni... and the only thing that got rid of the smell and that did it fast was a vanilla spray... just put some vanilla essence with water or a water detergent mix and start spraying... smells really yummy as well and its really cheap and quick...

Lysol Antibacterial Ktichen Cleaner, & then baking soda.
Also, you may want to unplug it; wipe it down with bleach & let it sit open for a day to air out.
