Help! My fridge is stinky!

[Lilybett]

There is a strange smell in my fridge. I have now had everything out and cleaned the whole thing out thoroughly twice (this time with a mild bleach solution) and have used baking soda and lemon to try and get rid of the smell but it still stinky and is annoying me every time I open the fridge! Any suggestions on how to get rid of it or what might be causing it?

A cup of cat litter (clean, obviously) will draw in any lingering odour

Have you cleared the drainage hole on the back wall (inside the fridge) there is usually a drainage hole that can sometimes become blocked...a cotton bud should shift any small blockage

Last time I had this problem it was because I was pregnant I kept cleaning the 'stinky' fridge and it was just my hormones making me think there was a smell....

I am currently sitting here with boobs that feel on fire they are so sore and craving sweet crap However, I think it's just my cycle, pregnancy unlikely as I've got a mirena....

My fridge was stinky when I was pregnant too

I had a momentary panic last week and then realised there was a very smelly half-eaten Camembert in it

I could smell tupperware a mile off when I was pg - never since though!

BB, what's a half-eaten camembert? Never experienced one of those...
