It's a good idea to make monthly, quarterly and annual cleanings to keep things fresh and up to date. How many times you decided to make a cool meal thinking that you have a special spice inside your fridge for a gourmet touch, only to find out in the middle of your recipe that the product expired a year ago? It sounds familiar? So, to avoid this terrible surprise factor, keep all refrigerator areas clean on a daily basis and always through away all the "just in case" bottles without sorrow. They are probably a couple of years old anyway.
When cleaning the doors and outside, pay close attention at the door's rubber rims. They tend to accumulate mold and that's another source of nasty smell.
Another good idea on how clean refrigerator odor is to clean spills right away. Don't let them dry out and get crusty. Also clean well all bottles' brims (a.k.a. ketchup, mayonnaise, and jelly). Make sure the containers with left overs are air tight too. Basically all old food that stays in contact with oxygen, can generate an odor in the refrigerator with the exceptions of these homemade cleaning recipe to clean refrigerator odor:
1. Dilute two table spoons of baking soda in one quarter of warm water and clean all the inside. Take out all drawers and shelves, let it get to room temperature and immerse them in the solution. Let it sit for a while and then rinse them well. Also, dry them well before placing it back in place.
2. Place a container with milk inside the fridge. Grandma's recipe. :-))
3. Or place a container with fresh coffee grounds until the bad smell disappears.
You will have a clean refrigerator all year around and a happy clean kitchen!
