    Getting rid of Odor in Fridge
    We were away 10 days in the summer and our fridge was accidentally unplugged! :eek:
    All the food rotted/melted in the freezer and fridge sections. It was awful.
    I have washed it over and over again with-
    Javex Bleach
    Copious amounts of baking soda inluding some standing in the fridge at all times
    vinegar
    Lysol
    And various cleaning sprays. The smell will not go away. Someone told me it may be in the insulation of the fridge?? Can this be fixed/cleaned or is it time for a new one?

    When this happened to me we used open trays of that kiddie litter that removes odors - but it wasn't as bad as you have described.

    I am sorry what do you mean "the insulation wont get wet" Do you mean the mess wouldn't have leaked into the insulation?

    There really isn't a way for the insulation to get wet.
