Smelly fridge

Hi, im cleaning out our second fridge, its a 50's style Smeg one with a small freezer compartment, its been emptied and defrosted and im cleaning it out now but its a bit whiffy
I dont have any proprietary fridge cleaner, just fairy in a bit of hot water. Any tips on what i could add to the water to give it a better clean and refresh,ie lemon juice, soda crystals.
I need the space now, we have 16 people coming to stay next week and there is a lot of food being delivered .
They are mainly camping in the garden by the way

Lemon juice neutralises bad smells really well.

I cut a lemon in half and stick that at the back of the fridge ... keeps nasty smells away

You can also put some vanilla essence in the water for a final wipe, smells yummy! I tend to go the lemon option too usually. I think you can leave an open pack of salt or something in the back of the fridge and it absorbs all the smells. Hmmmm it wasn't salt - I'll have to have a think about it must be time for bed

Bicarb of soda is fab for absorbing smells.

Ahhhhh that is what it was - after your fridge is clean pop a little box of that in the back!!
