    This is NOT OS but my favouritist new find is Pets at Home litter tray wipes. £2 for 10 and they are de-oderising and anti-bac and just everything. I use them for the cat's litter tray (it's my one indulgence!) as I find his litter smells less afterwards and I got so stressed out with our smelly fridge I used it in there once.

    It was wonderful. I mainly use lemons & bicarb for smells in appliances but the fridge smell just wouldn't go away and I couldn't let it air out obviously! It really did work a treat.

    Also, when doing a big spring clean I cleaned our kitchen bin with it as well. I spoil myself sometimes!!

    Thanks for your advice everyone! After lots of wafting air through the windows, boiling vinegar and scrubbing with lemon and bicarb the stink has finally gone. Boyfriend is also banned from the microwave for the time being :)
