Smelly Fridge

Post by dirtygertie »

after giving my almost teenage son the task of making sure that all perishible food was removed from van upon returning from our jollies last week I have today discovered some cheese, a pack of ham & a tub of marge in the fridge.

It Stinks.

I've tried bleaching it to withing an inch of its little fridgey life, rubbed the hell out of it with bicarb of soda & it still smells like somethings died in the van.


any Ideas on how to eradicate our nasty wiff?

leave 4 rounds of bread in there for a couple of days with the door open a bit......
(not sure if it will still work after you filled it with bleach tho, but it does if you havent......)

the door should always be left open if the fridge isnt working anyway.....
