Rotten Meat Smell in the Refrigerator |
|
|
We came home from vacation to a freezer full of spoiled chicken and meat. The stench continues throughout the house a week later. We have scrubbed the freezer with bleach and will try the baking soda now. Any more suggestions?

Apple cider vinegar works well.

Clean the fridge with vanilla extract and water mixed together will get rid of the smell.

My husband repairs refrigerators and sees this all the time. He uses one of 3 things.
Wet newspapers. Put papers damp in refrigerator and change occasionally.
Cat litter. Buy clay cat litter and set open in refrigerator. Change occasionally till smell gone.
Charcoal. Same as above. Sometimes, he comes across one that is totally hopeless. If those three things don't work you probably will either live with smell or buy a new one.

I put coffee and charcoal in fridge for a week the smell is still there. Is there something else I can do?
Editor's Note: Check the pan underneath the refrigerator. Take all the racks and drawers out. Any place that water can collect, under the vegetable drawers, in the tubes that help with the defrosting, etc. make sure they are clean but washing down good with baking soda. There may be some place that is keeping the smell in there.

RE: Rotten Meat Smell From Freezer
We had a freezer with rotted meat also, we washed it good with bleach water , Then put a bag of charcoal in it and cut the bag open and shut the door. Don't remember how long it took, but it got all the smell out. Joyce

How do I get the smell of rotten meat and fish out of the air. The fridge died while I was out of town.

I would wash it with a water and bleach solution and then after it dries put some fresh ground coffee in a bowl on several of the shelves to absorb the odor.
Close the door completely and check til you get results! I used this method with an old refrigerator and after about a week the smell was gone. (05/23/2006)

I had that problem once and the only thing that helped was to get some charcoal from a pet store that's used for an aquarium and put that in dishes in the fridge and freezer. It really works great. (05/23/2006)

I went through Katrina in MS. I was able to save my fridge so far. A refridgerator man told me to never use bleach but to always use orange juice (like you drink mixed with water) to clean your fridge and then I put charcoal and coffee in small bowls, it worked great. (05/23/2006)

Burn matches or use other sulfur to remove odor from the air. (05/23/2006)
