How To Clean Rotten Meat Smell From Fridge

Charcoal! My ex did that last summer in his motor home. It was shrimp. Pee Yew! I laughed and laughed! He is always Mr. Perfect and Mr. Thorough, and this time he blew it so I took the opportunity to rub it in. All in good humor of course. And this was discovered about 2 days before we were leaving on a short trip. Seriously, charcoal. I put an entire bag in both the fridge and freezer. Took a couple weeks and I changed the charcoal after a week, probably not necessary, just made ME feel better.

Thank you. I'll try that. I've got a bowl of vinegar and a bowl of baking soda soda sitting in both the fridge and freezer right now. I'm curious. Did you just use a cooler and go on your trip anyway?
Yes we went on our trip, no reason to let a little mishap stop us! We just took a couple coolers, as it was a long weekend trip, 4 days and 3 nights. Freezer wasn't too bad so at least we were able to keep ice in the freezer. We need a darn good reason to cancel a camping trip. 🌞 Smelly fridge doesn't count!

Try putting dry baking soda in the fridge and freezer and places around the RV. I would put some charcoal around too, both are good for odors. Put the charcoal in some bowl and spread it around the RV. I am sure the odor got into the upholstery too. It may take time, but it may work.

Thank you. I have a bowl of baking soda and a bowl of vinegar sitting in both the fridge and freezer right now. I'll try charcoal if that doesn't do the trick. We seem to have caught it in time and the odor isn't in the upholstery. Airing it out and fans seem to have taken care of the odor in the RV body.

Put newpapers in the fridge, with charcoal. Let it sit for a few days. Then clean with baking soda. There is a product that Costco and Sams sells, i think you can buy it at Home Depot too. It is called Odorban. It works really well.
