I know this is horrible, but there's some great information in here about getting rid of smells.

Cleaning up in the aftermath of a violent crime is much different than other more traditional cleaning jobs.

Does any of it involve the use of Lye? I know where to get that.

Most of the murderers on Forensic Files use lime.

I have a half pint canning jar - half full of baking soda in my frig. Put a cup of baking soda on a plate and put in frig. This, along with the newspaper, will absorb the odors.

If it still stinks after ten days or so - do as roadworthy - post#4 - option #2 suggests.

Has anyone heard of putting kitty litter in bowl and place in fridge & freezer? I am trying to round up some newspapers....we have had multiple bowls of baking soda and the boxes of baking soda and open bowls of vinegar in both sides of the unit..

Stuff crumbled newspapers (remember them ?) in both (all) compartments. Let them stay for 3-4 days and remove. Then spray with Zorb-X (available Lowe's)

While I track down or buy some newspapers, I hitched on your concept and put in about 20-25 large/med towels, ones that we use to dry the dogs...they are all clean and odorless, so I am hoping they can start the absorption process. I have ordered some of the sprays you recommended and will use them per your recommendations...thank you

I was of the impression that OZONE generators was the way to go.
I had a small convertible that stunk like H-ll and 6 hrs of using one made it smell like new.

Friend that ran a carwash uses it all the time, old food, pot, cigarette smoke is gone after a few hours.

Along with the above, some I don't know what they are: coffee will absorb some orders, Free Breeze can handle some. I do think open room temp is easier to get the order controlled in than running refrigerator.

Of course, you could get spray with diesel fuel and then deal with it...I believe it could cover those orders.

I have to+1 on a new fridge if there was chicken in there..

I've had this happen to me once, and a few times with friends. Insulation in the fridge will absorb the smell. Chix that has thawed and spoiled for a number of days does not come out, charcoal, newspapers, bleach etc etc etc.
I hope there was no chix...
