Fred what did you clean it with? Try dissolving some bicarbonate of soda in some water and wiping round the inside of the fridge with it

Cut a lemon in half and scoop out the middle replacing it with salt and put in a dish at the back of the fridge. The salt absorbs any bad smells and the lemon makes it smell lovely

Yep would have said this but A/S was quicker
I also keep a cut lemon in the fridge most of the time as well

Get one of those Fridge freshner thingies that sticks in the fridge, it might make it smell a bit sweeter whilst the smell wears off

I got Laura a new chair last week from PC World and that smells really weird as well

lemon shouldn`t cost owt where Fred lives F more he saves more he can spend on essentials like cream cakes, beer & dry white wine etc

Try a few drops of lavender/rose/any one you like oil in some tepid water & give a rub over chair with well rung out cloth, might do the trick
