How To Get Rid Of Fishy Odor In Your Refrigerator

Charcoal Odor

Fish can easily perish. Some people freeze fishes and thaw some of them out when they need to cook them. They stick the uncooked fish again in the fridge. Refrain from thawing out fishes and meat products if you are not going to cook them right away. This actually speeds up the growth of bacteria.

Fish is best cooked when fresh. Otherwise, your refrigerator can smell rancid and rotten. You can get rid of the smell using the following ways:

1. Baking soda can actually absorb bad odor. Dissolve two tablespoons of baking soda in half a cup of warm water. Dampen dish cloth in the mixture and use it to wipe the refrigerator surface where you have stored rotten fish.

2. Vinegar also works well in diminishing bad odor. This can also be used to get rid of crusty blood stains of fish. Mix half a cup of distilled white vinegar with half a cup of water. Dip sponge or dish cloth in this mixture. Wipe the interior of the refrigerator using this solution. If you don't have time to clean, you can place a cup of white vinegar in a bowl. Place it in your fridge until the smell fades away.

3. Get pieces of charcoal and place them on a tin bowl. Place the bowl inside the fridge. Charcoal can absorb unwanted odor inside the fridge. Let it stay there as a deodorizer.

4. Cut wedges of lemon and place them all over your fridge. This can help make your fridge smell citrusy. It also gets rid of the unwanted odor of fish.

If none of these tricks works in removing the fishy odor, you might want to clean your fridge. Unplug it and open the door. Air it out for at least 30 minutes. When it has warmed up a bit, clean the dirty areas using dish washing liquid. Use sponge to get rid of dried up fish blood. After removing the blood, wipe the area clean with damp cloth. Make sure you remove oil and food residues inside the fridge. Leave the door open for another thirty minutes before plugging it back again.

Do not use harsh cleaning products such as bleach. If you don't get rid of bleach residues completely, they can mix up with your fruits and vegetables. Also, bleach smell is as unpleasant as rancid fish. Use natural cleaners so you are not in danger of food poisoning.
