Countrygirl Registered: 10/14/07 Posts: 139 Loc: The wilds of Scotland, UK	I didn't know where to post this, so I hope here is ok. I need some help....quickly!! Does anyone know how to get rid of the smell of bad fish from my refridgerator? My hubby brought home some fish which went off overnight in the fridge and I can't get rid of the smell! I've scrubbed it out with various bleaches, cleaners, disinfectants, etc half a dozen times, and it still stinks!! I took the fridge apart and cleaned everything....argghhhh...this is driving me crazy! I cut a lemon in half and put it in there but it had no effect. Does anyone have any ideas?? Please!!! _________________________ Strangers are just friends waiting to happen.

jawjaw Da Queen Registered: 07/02/03 Posts: 12025 Loc: Alabama	Here are a couple of articles I found by doing a google search: http://ezinearticles.com/?How-to-Get-Rid-of-Fish-Smell&id=551078 http://www.bishfish.co.nz/answers/fishsmell.htm There are many more, and if you want to pursue them, just put in "how to get rid of fish smell" on Google and see what comes up! Hope this helps. _________________________ Queen JJ www.queenjawjaw.com All Things Royal - 2010 and Beyond Humorist for the NABBW

chatty lady Writer Registered: 02/24/04 Posts: 20267 Loc: Nevada	Try Febreez, that stuff is wonderful. I took a case of both kinds, the regular spray and the air freshener to the kennels at the SPCA so now they smell so fresh and clean. Lots of dogs, some sick, makes for bad aromas...BUT this FEBREEZ stuff works really well.

chatty lady Writer Registered: 02/24/04 Posts: 20267 Loc: Nevada	Febreeze may make some sneeze, but that stuff works on odors and works fast... If you do use bleach you have to dismantle the whole frig. Take out the shelves, drawers and scrub down the entire inside with soapy bleach water. Then do the shelves and the drawers, the bottoms too. Some fish juice may have dripped...Leave the door open to air out while it drys and then hit it with the febreeze before putting it back together Oh, and a box of Arm & Hammer wouldn't do any harm inside either when all finished.
