  • Thanks for the suggestions. I have put the coffee granules in and will update you on the effect! Will get some bicarb tomorrow and give it a good clean.

    I get rid of fridge smells by washing it down completely with a strong water/vinegar mixture. That also kills germs, and the vinegar smell wears off very quickly.
    Be careful who you open up to. Today it's ears, tomorrow it's mouth.

    Hello, I need some advice, my boyfriend has a large tub of Camembert in the fridge and its stinking the whole fridge out. Is there anything I can do to wrap it so its not as smelly?

    Wipe it out with a solution of bicab and water and leave a bowl of (dry) bicarb in there to deodorise
