I DON"T WANT TO off topic - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

barblsn · 11-06-2009, 05:19 AM

COMPLETELY off topic, but there is a funky smell coming from my fridge, and I've thrown out what I thought was the offender (Old Cauliflower) and did a quick wipe-down with baking soda and water, but the smell lingers. I HAVE TO TAKE THE FRIDGE APART AND CLEAN IT AND I DON'T WANT TO!!!

I am going to get a pumpkin latte and donut at Dunkin Donuts when I'm done though!

How about the water tray underneath?? Enjoy that donut. They certainly are treats. I'm a big Tim Horton fan~Have a good day and good luck. Smil;es, Bonnie

yeah, that was my thought on the water tray. Talk about the ability to get funky, that is it.

Also put 2 or 3 charcoa; briquettes on a paper towel and leave in the frig. They will absorb the left over odor which may have permeated some of the 'containers' (especially if plastic) that are holding other items in the frig.

Hope that helps,

Love and hugs,

Check the freezer too! I know our work fridge was really bad I kept looking around to figure out what the culprit was, until I realized it was a bad spill of something in the freezer. Weird!

ok. done. I did find some kind of sticky spill under the vegetable bin, and yes, some scary unidentified goo in the freezer. Hopefully this does the trick. Ewww.

Ohhh Dunkin Donuts Pumpkin Late! Sounds nice... They have these pumpkin muffins that are so good!

Like BBD, I am a huge Tim Horton's fan. Even my home coffee is that brand.

Chocolate glazed donut are my favourite comfort food. I swear I could eat a dozen of those beauties.

Glad you seem to have got the fridge clean.

Hugs

Thanks for the laugh this morning. That cracked me up! Sadly, I'm going to have to do the same thing. Got that same "mystery smell" going on in my fridge. Since you are now an expert on fridge cleaning, maybe you can do mine too?
