How can I get the smell of rotten meat out of my freezer. It was accidental unplug ed for a week.?

Answer 1

Try washing it out with a good cleaner, and then put a bowl with some baking soda in it and close the lid for about a week. The baking soda should absorb the smell. =]

Answer 2

Odor Ban good for cleaning. Better idea - Someone else mentioned charcoal. I have the perfect product that I've used for years and know dozens of other people that use it. It is a product called FRIDGE IT odor absorbers. It is a little purple cube with an incredible activated carbon filter inside that is really, really, great. It works so much better than baking soda and all those sprays and fragrances that just cover up smells and doesn't get rid of them. Also, alot of sprays have warning statements about being eye irritant. The carbon literally absorbs and eliminates the odors and works for a long time. Just place a couple in fridge and freezer. I use this product everywhere including car(smoke and pet smells), storage, closets, my fridge and also under sinks, near trash and have friends that use it on cat litter box and also diaper pails - it's that good. I really recommend it. You can buy it in kitchen gadget sections in stores like walmart and linens and things. I also think camping world sells it. Someone else even said available in England. Definitely worth trying

Answer 3

First clean the freezer well with a combo of Odo Ban (Available at Sam's Club) and warm water. After this dries, open a box of baking soda, and put a small bowl with some charcoal in the freezer. Both absorb the odors that remain. This happened to us in our camper after the power got shut off accidentally. This method worked great. Hope this helps.
