destroying rotten meat odor
dave martin
It still stinks after the interior has been washed.
Maybe some sulphides have diffused into the plastic?
Anyhow, is there a reasonable way to destroy whatever's causing the odor?
Hydrogen peroxide? Ozone? UV? Bleach? Antismellium?

Probably do more damage than good.

Combine the refrigerator with an antimatter refrigerator. That will
lighten things up. ;>)
You might simply wipe the surfaces down with a baking soda solution,
including the door(s) and gaskets. I'd bet the refrigerator is a
"frost-free" type, which means it has an internal filter you need to find
and sterilize. They also have an external drain pan, usually.

The most likely culprit of rotten meat odor in the fridge are nasty
amines. I think a mixture of 3% hydrogen peroxide (medicinal grade)
and vinegar might help to solubilze ( and oxidize those amines) and
would do a good job. Let the fridge air-dry after washing for few
hours, fresh air has no alternative. Just recall that the removal of
fish odors by lemon juice is said to be due to the reaction of amines
with the acid in the juice.

ROTTING meat, but they might know.
Ask at a local abattoir or meat processing plant. Check your local
Yellow Pages. Meat processing plants are not just in Chicago and Texas.
Ask a local butcher, but try not to insult him.
"How do you get rid of the smell of your rotten meat?" - Bad.
"The brisket looks good today. I'll take 2 pounds. By the way, do
know how OTHER butchers clean up the smell of rotting meat from
their freezers and other plastic, glass or metal surfaces?" - Better
Ask a local museum or taxidermist that deals with fresh kill or road kill
how they deal with rotten meat odor when preparing specimens. They
might use enzymes for thoroughly cleaning some bones, depending on
how rotten the meat is. Fouled plastics fridge parts might be different
from cleaning bones, but they might have some ideas. Some use
carnivorous insects to clean bones but I don't think that would apply in
your case.
Ask a local bio dept or anthropology / archaeology dept (even a high
school science dept) how they clean up specimens.
Call customer service at 1-800-themanufacturer of your fridge and
see what they say.
How about these hints (wet newspapers; activated charcoal):

decomposing meat are high MW amines (which will react with the acidic
detergent.)
The same principle applies when lemon juice (acidic) is squeezed onto fish
to negate that 'fishy' smell - which also consists of amines.

I side with the crowd that says wash with an acidic solution. I hear
unsweetened lemon Kool-Aid works wonders in a dishwashing machine. It may
work well here too.

1. Mix approximately 1 tbs/gal of Triton X-100 surfactant with laundry bleach e.g., Chlorox. (You need a strong, nonreactive surfactant to prevent beading.)
2. Put on a paint/pesticide respirator.
3. Brush on the mixture full strength.
4. Leave the room and close the room door, preferably with a window open, before removing the mask.
5. Let the solution dry. Sodium hypochlorite is unstable when dry and decomposes into sodium chloride and sodium chlorate, therefore there should be no further release of noxious gases.
6. Wipe off the residue with a damp towel. If you had an open window, you probably won't need a respirator for this step. Otherwise, put it back on.
If this doesn't work, you might try keeping the applied solution wet for a couple of days by closing the refrigerator door to maintain 100% relative humidity.

My mum's recipe for getting smells out of fridges is vanilla essence in some
warm water in a jar. Leave in fridge O/N. Repeat until the odour is gone.
Remarkably effective IMO.
Of course, it may be time for a new fridge if the rotten meat was left in it
for any length of time. :) :)
