I've tried lysol, bleach, comet, white vinegar, febreze, etc. and all have failed! How do I get rid of this horrible smell. Everyone in the house feels like hurling.

Does anyone know what caused it and what if someone had eaten some of it before the can was visibly bulging?

I woke up at 3am to an awful smell that I eventually tracked to my kitchen pantry. the kitchen is in the opposite end of the house, so the entire home was a stench! I have spent 1.5 hours washing and shrubbing but it still smells awful. I wonder, did any of you complain to Costco, and if so, what came out of it?

I just bought the same crab from costco and it exploded in my 40 ft 5th wheel in my friends hand! It was like a shot gun blast and the confinded space almost dropped him. He was deaf for quite a while and threw up at least 20 times. You could not get within 100 ft of our tralier without wanting to hurl. It was all over the ceiling walls cupboards behind the stackable w/d in the stove. This all happen when I was to take pictures to SELL IT. Well I have a strong stomach, so hair in a towel and garbage bag armor I had to hose down my trailer, at least 10 times, drill holes in the floor so it could drain outside, poured staight bleach and pinesol over the entire kithen etc. I have removed most of the odor but I have done my research and vinilla extract seems to be the best bet, and the smell is nice I am hoping it will soak into the wall boards that swelled a little and I will leave cotton balls in the floor holes.

Sounds like they got a really bad batch of crab! They usually will give you your money back on faulty products and may even help you with the cleaning in a case like that. Seal the can in a bag (so you don't have to smell it anymore) and take the whole thing in to them. That way they can recall the batch.

I too bought an expensive can of crab from Costco and it also exploded in my cabinet. The smell is horrible and we've tried everything to get it out. I did throw up several times. What kind of enzyme cleaner do you recommend? Thanks, Lin Posted on 08/18/2005 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Rotten Crabmeat Smell in Cabinet By Susan Neal (Guest Post) You know, I figured this had happened to someone else. We just got back from Camping on Memorial Day and the house reeked something horrible. I had bought an expensive can ($15) of crab from Costco and put it in the pantry. It exploded... and your desciption is pretty accurate...wasbi mash potatoes (too funny!). It exploded, because, guess what? This 'canned' good is supposed to be refridgerated! I have 5 children and I have to tell you that was the most disgusting thing I've ever had to clean. I almost threw up several times. My problem is the same. We've cleaned it out...pinesol, bleach. Then we painted it (well my husband did, I would not have done that)...then we sanded it. Baking soda, Oust, Several other cleaners all to NO avail. I simply cannot get rid of the smell. Meanwhile my kitchen is full of everything that was in the pantry. I'll try some of the things you've all mentioned and HOPE it works. Otherwise...well I don't know what otherwise? lol Sue Posted on 05/31/2005 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Rotten Crabmeat Smell in Cabinet By Tawnda (Guest Post) Also check to make sure you wiped it off of anything else that was in the cabinet. We live in Alaska and use fish a lot and many times we will suddenly have a rotten fish smell in the kitchen. I have to do a thorough cleaning job with Clorox Clean-up or bleach and usually it is because something that had fish in it, like a baking dish that was sat on the counter next to the sink got fish juice around the edge of the sink or on the countertop in an area that doesn't get wiped on a daily basis, etc. Or just from opening the package of fish, fish oil or fish juice can spray up on the cabinet, etc. and leave an odor. You may also want to try lemon juice. Posted on 06/15/2004 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Rotten Crabmeat Smell in Cabinet By M.B. (Guest Post) White vinegar (clear) and salt helps cut the fish smell I would then use water and baking soda to rince it good and air dry. Posted on 06/14/2004 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Rotten Crabmeat Smell in Cabinet By Vicki (Guest Post) A friend of mine had that kind of thing happen & the only thing that worked was a enzyme cleaner. Since then I have also used it for stains on my carpet & it works very well. Posted on 06/14/2004 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Rotten Crabmeat Smell in Cabinet By Diamondee (131) Contact WOW what a mess. first try and get the the crab out of the nooks and crannies with a tooth brush, dipped in baking soda, I would have sujested white vinegar ...but not sure you should mix it with any bleach products. if you have other canned food items in the cabinet, check any paper labels as it might have been caught in the misfire. that could be causing your smell. if the cabinet is empty..set a bowl of white vinegar in the cabinet over night. Good Luck! Posted on 06/12/2004 | Report Spam or Abuse
