I can't get rid of the smell from foods in my refrigerator. I've cleaned the refrigerator but smells still linger. Also, seems to be affecting ice taste in freezer. I've read some suggestions about a product called Fridge It. Anyone know about it?

Yes, I know this product. Fridge It odor absorbers. You can get it at lots of places. I buy it at Walmart. I think I've seen it in catalogs too. It is SO MUCH better than baking soda. No spills and no mess. Small little cube and so convenient. I've tried baking soda - works for small odors and for awhile, but not very well. You will be thrilled with this product. I had the worst smelling fish. I put just one fridge it in the refrigerator and a few hours later - no smell at all. Baking soda didn't work. This product costs a little more, but it is worth every penny. I use it all around my house instead of those sprays and plug ins.
I have a friend that even uses Fridge it in his bait cooler when he goes fishing - now that is tough smells and he says it really works. You've got to try it.

Take everything out of fridge and freezer and clean with warm water with baking soda in it. Make sure you also wash out any drawers as well. Dry it well and wait a while before putting anything back in it. Make sure what ever you put back in it is not spoiled or has that smell. Keep a large open box of baking soda in the fridge and freezer. Change to a new one every 3 months

Sometimes we remove the odours and not the cause. I keep food in tight glass jars and in zippered fridge bags, and in zippered freezer bags. A box of baking soda will end the old odours after you wash the fridge and the freezer, also it is good to empty the tray under the fridge and vacuum the grills. Good luck.

My way of keeping refrigerator odors down is by habit. I stock very lightly, keep everything sealed air-tight, rotate and keep track of everything. Try to clean one small section a week/month with warm water and dish soap. The most important spot to clean is under the produce crisper bins, where most of the grime from the fridge usually ends up.

The cheapest and most commonly used product is baking soda...Just tear off the top of the box and set the box in the fridge...lol

First make sure it's really good and clean with soap and water--get into all the nooks and crannies, take out the shelves and wash them, etc.Then wash it again with baking soda and warm water, turn it off, and prop it open to air dry. Make sure no kids or animals get into it. If that doesn't work, try lemon juice and water, and again air dry. Also do your freezer and your ice cube trays. Good luck!

Mix vanilla essence and water into a spray bottle. Spray the inside of fridge and rinse. Even try lemon juice

An opened box of baking soda should do the trick, it absorbs the odor, good luck!

we put a bowl of charcoal brickets in the fridge. believe it or not, it helped.
i've also done this with my car to remove cigarette smoke odor and musty smell for it being in storage.
