How do you get rid of the smell of tamarind from a refrigerator?

Question

I bought some tamarind to make pad thai, i didn't notice the smell at first because it filled the store. I put it in my refrigerator for about an hour and when i opened the door it smelled pretty ripe... something like intense BO... so i threw it away immediately. my refrigerator still smells and somehow the smell got into the freezer which didn't have baking soda... it's been a few days since that incident and neither smells much better... i'm going to increase the amount of baking soda. an other suggestions that wouldn't contaminate my food?

Answer 1

in your frig place a small bowl of vinegar with a cotton ball in it, that will absorb the smell of anything.

Answer 2

Empty the fridge and wipe all surfaces with white vinegar and water then place a fresh box of baking soda and return the items to the fridge (this is a good time to toss out stale condiments and old foods as well). Hope this does the trick!
