What’s that nasty smell coming from your refrigerator? It could be caused by bacteria, mold, or rotting food. Spills from liquid products create a breeding ground for mold and bacteria. Spoiled food left in your fridge can emit foul smells. Plastics, which often make up the interior of most fridges, can easily absorb these smells. This is why cleaning your refrigerator is the first step to removing bad odors. It won’t smell fresh until you eliminate the sources of the problem.
