Mel B Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 What about trying good old soda??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Dwight Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Hi Ray, I assume you have used plenty of hot soapy water. Now try wiping it our with Bicarbonate of Soda diluted in a little water, this usualy gets rid of smells in fridges etc. Also leave the fridge and freezer door open with plenty of air flow. If this dont work get your bags packed. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Den Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Above ideas are good plus cut a Lemon in half and place this in the freezer with the door open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
libby Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 It maybe simpler to retain your original thought on a divorce, particularly as its a new van! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randonneur Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Put a small open container (saucer) filled with Bicarb and leave it for some time then the powder will absorb the smell. We do this all the time in the fridge at home. I once bought a little plastic rabbit with holes in it and this was filled with bicarb specially to get rid of smells in the fridge.

michele Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Yep Bicarb for me also . Leaving it in there for a door closed Then Bicarb with the freezer door open for a good airing . Divorce lastly :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seamus Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 We are having the same problem,new van,split fridge/freezer.For some reason the fridge/freezer defrosted on the way to Portugal.Back home now and we have the horrible smell as described above. I called Thetford and was advised to put charcoal in the freezer compartment.I will print the above tips and leave them for the mrs to read ( I'm not talking to her at the minute) maybye get me some browny points :-D seamus.

hallii Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Try putting a block of Munster cheese in the area of concern, leave it for a couple of days and all other smells will be gone! It took me a month to remove the smell of it from my fridge! Geoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
