Opening your refrigerator and being hit with an unpleasant smell is something we’ve all experienced. Whether it’s from forgotten leftovers, spoiled produce, or a spill that went unnoticed, bad odours in the fridge are not only annoying—they can also affect the freshness of your food. Fortunately, with a few simple steps, you can deep clean your fridge and eliminate those lingering smells for good.
Here’s your ultimate guide to a spotless, fresh-smelling refrigerator.
🧽 Step 1: Prepare for Cleaning
What You’ll Need:
- Baking soda

- Warm water
- Dish soap
- A sponge or microfiber cloth
- Old toothbrush (for crevices)
- Garbage bag
- Fresh lemon (optional)
First: Unplug the Refrigerator
Unplugging your fridge is optional for a quick clean, but recommended for deep cleaning, especially if you plan to keep the door open for a while.
🥡 Step 2: Empty the Fridge Completely
- Remove all food items—this is a great time to toss expired or questionable items.
- Place perishable items in a cooler with ice packs to keep them cold.
🧴 Step 3: Clean All Surfaces
Mix a Natural Cleaning Solution:
- Combine 1 part white vinegar with 3 parts warm water.
- Add a teaspoon of baking soda for extra deodorizing power.
Use this solution to:
- Wipe down all shelves, drawers, and interior walls.
- Use a toothbrush for tight corners and seals.
Tip: For sticky messes or spills, let a cloth soaked in warm water sit on the area for a few minutes before wiping.
🧊 Step 4: Clean the Drawers and Shelves Separately
- Remove them completely and soak them in warm soapy water.
