Fridge odours

Does anyone know a good way of getting the smell of fish out of my fridge ?
I've already taken everything out & washed it all , also wiped all the jars etc .
I've put a few pots each of baking powder & bicarbonate of soda in there but it stills stinks really bad

You have already done what I would have suggested....
You can buy fridge odour type things - maybe try one of those ?

I think your best bet would be to try a fridge deodorizer fridge deodorizer, simply hang em up in your fridge which will neutralize any strong odors.

OP, did you clean the drain bit at the back? The one behind the shelves? I did that and it was a great improvement. Also a wipe down with zaflora wont hurt. Good Luck.

Put a piece of bread in the fridge. It absorbs any smell

I wouldn't use Zoflora in a fridge. It's not supposed to be used where you have food and the perfume would taint everything in the fridge.

You can zoflora your fridge but then dry it down before replacing good.

Soda crystals are better than bicarbonate etc, so if you have them put a bowl in.

I put a lemon cut in half on the same shelf as the fish

Another one for checking the little drain hole at the back!
