Sorry if this is the wrong area to post this, I wasn't sure!
Anyway, I just bought a gently used (only two years old) True reach in fridge. Its in beautifuly condition and still has warranties on the compressor and such, so I couldn't turn it down.
It has a slight garlic smell to it..Even the outside! (I bet it was in a pizza place or something) I put baking soda in it, but I was wondering what everyone suggests washing it down with to get rid of the smell? Should I just use regular dish washing liquod or something stronger? I don't want to add to the smell with detergents!
Thanks for any help!
I'm sure if you googled it something would come up, but I would try baking soda, wipe everything down with baking soda. Wipe everything down with lemon, and then try putting in a dish...on the lowest shelf of activated charcoal...you know from the fish dept at the pet store.

Hope it helps
the best thing to use is activated carbon, like is in fish tank filters. You can buy it in a tub loose at walmart inthe fish section and either put it in a mesh bag or just in a shallow dish. It will absorb odor better than baking soda. They actually covered this topic on food detectives several weeks back. Hope this helps
