They have things you can put into your fridge Kummy, they hook onto the walls, so it doesn't look trashy. My brother's wife-to-be gave me her fridge
since she moved in with my brother and she used to cook with this stinky cheese and now that smell is gone.

I use the Arm and Hammer baking soda boxes that have the sides that come off and have an air permeable layer. Works fine.

If you move or store a refrigerator for more than a day, pour coffee into a sock. Tie up the sock and put it in the fridge. Put another one in the freezer. All
the mold will go to the coffee/sock. I have had a fridge in storage for over six months with the coffee in it and not had a speck of mold.

you're worried about baking soda looking trashy in your refrigerator? Why? Do you have parties in there? It's a refrigerator for god's sake! It
stores food, beer and your roommates rotten meat.

I think I'll have a decorator come in and arrange the inside of my fridge.

I do not understand rancid refrigerators. Don't care how many filthy children you have. Don't care how disgusting your rommies might be. There is
absolutely NO excuse for opening up the refrigerator door and being assaulted by a vile stench. A fridge requires very little effort to keep clean. Something
spills, you wipe it up. Check containers of leftovers on a weekly basis and discard everything that moves.
If repulsive odors have permeated your fridge, a box of baking soda isn't going to do very much. You MUST empty the fucking thing and clean it properly, as people have been telling you. The vinegar wash is a good start. Vinegar smell dissipates once it is dry. If that doesn't work, or if you prefer, use a 50-50 bleach and water solution or at the very least a commercial antibacterial spray as has been mentioned. A good last resort that works for eliminating penetrating odors from plastic: pour straight ammonia (unless you can find gay ammonia, which is lemon-scented) into a shallow glass baking dish, like a 13X9 cake pan. Empty the fridge, put the food into a cooler. (You can unplug the fridge as well if you can store your frozen shit also.) Put the pan with the ammonia in the fridge and allow it to sit at least overnight. Stand back when you open the door the next day, unless you need a cheap buzz. Leave door open for half an hour, then wipe out the fridge. Ammonia will absorb odors much better than a pathetic box of baking soda ever could. This works for stinky cars, too. You can also try activated charcoal instead. You can get the stuff used for aquarium filters. It's not as caustic, but it may need to remain in the fridge much longer than the ammonia. You will at least not have to empty the fridge if you try this method, but it's more effective if you do. Obviously don't mix bleach and ammonia, unless you want a cheap buzz that may lead to sudden death. You want a clean, fresh-smelling fridge? Yeah... you're gonna have to WORK for it. And then don't let it ever happen again. |

What can you add in a thread so that the stench of a Scruffy post isn't so overpowering?

baking soda can remove chopped onion and/or garlic odor

Best way to store onions odor-free:
Do not chop them if possible. Leave leftover onion in the skin, if you've used half of it for something else. Wrap onion in plastic wrap. Place wrapped onion in a custard cup or bowl with properly fitted lid. Place entire bowl into a Baggie. Do the same for chopped onions, but results will vary. I never have onion smell and this is how I do it, so I am right. |

I've put extra chopped onion and/or garlic in tubberware or rubbermaid contains and had my refrigerator reek of it. I guess the baggie would help seal the
aroma in

Think "Anal Retentive Chef," but for storage and not just disposal purposes.
You gotta use the plastic wrap FIRST, though. The onion smell requires at least three layers of protection. Dump your onion bits into plastic wrap, then the bowl, then the Baggie. "Three's the key." OK? Good. |

It's a spray. Pricey, but well worth it. For future prevention, body parts are best preserved when sealed tightly in Mason jars. |

I throw onion in a ziplock in the fridge and it never stinks. And I clean it with baking soda, but I don't keep baking soda in there. I don't need to.
How old is you people's food???

mine's not old, it's just the onion and garlic that's nasty
I've tried the bags, when I'm keeping end bits and scraps to add when I'm making broth using a chicken or turkey carcass, and the smell seems to leak out. However I do have a really good sense of smell, so maybe it's just me. |

Scruffy and I are onion twins. I just use three ziplock bags though. I bet my fridge smells better than his though. My fridge is new!
