If there is still an unpleasant odor even after thoroughly cleaning the inside of your refrigerator, try the following methods.
Vinegar. Mix 9% table vinegar with water in a 1:1 ratio. Then wipe all parts inside the refrigerator with a cloth and leave it open until the smell disappears.
Citric acid/lemon juice. To do this, it is recommended to wipe the refrigerator with a mixture of water (1 liter) and citric acid (1 sachet). To preserve the result, cut the lemon into slices and leave it in the refrigerator.
Laundry soap with potassium permanganate. Dissolve potassium permanganate (the amount on the tip of the knife) in 2.5 lukewarm water until a purple color is obtained. Then add 1 tablespoon of liquid laundry soap to this mixture and mix everything thoroughly. Thanks to this solution, you will get rid of unpleasant odors and clean your refrigerator easily.
Ammonia. First of all, carry out all procedures by wearing a mask (medical) and gloves. Add a few drops of ammonia to 1 liter of water and wipe everything inside the refrigerator. The smell of this alcohol will disappear in about a day.
Absorbents/adsorbents. This method will help those who do not want to clean the refrigerator for a while. For this, you can use activated carbon, black bread, soda, tea bags, coffee beans, silica gel balls, ozonizer absorbers.
