Oh hell - the smell 🤢

I had a good clear out of the fridge and found an old long-forgotten cheese stash.

I won’t go into too much detail but my cheese tub contained liquified dolce latte and Gorgonzola (among other delicacies - surprisingly, feta possibly being the worst) and I’m sure it would have been fine if I didn’t open the tub for a look and a sniff (yes I really was considering eating it).

So now all the flies are dead for about a mile radius, my fridge absolutely reeks and so do my hands. I have scrubbed both but there is still a hum of stinky cheese.

Any tips to defumigating the kitchen?

We had a rotten feta related incident too. Unbelievably disgusting considering we have zola and camembert in the fridge and they weren't a tenth as stinky. Nothing to offer except keep the windows open, it goes away after a few weeks eventually

Move house.

I think it’s the worst smell ever. Even worse than the bag of sick we left in the boot by mistake (of course) in the summer.

It may be in your nose, not your house! Don't despair. Bicarb in the fridge. Light a candle.

Sprinkle bicarb liberally in the tub and fridge.

Half fill a Pyrex jug or roasting tin with boiling water and squeeze lemons into and put it in the bottom of the fridge. Repeat as necessary.

God I'd bleach it and go round after work weak zoflora

for de-stinking your hands 'wash' them with body lotion and then soap after

You were lucky it wasn't Mileens cheese.
It has to be the stinkiest cheese in the world - and that's when it's not gone off Smile
