I have one of those handheld steam jet things. Its terrific for getting sticky things off the shelves and cleaning the magnetic rubber seal around the door. Then I use hot water and baking soda on the entire inside.

I use hot water ( as hot as from teh faucet) and vinegar. SMells only for a minute and cleans wonderfully. SOnds like all these other methods work too. Just did mine last week and had to turn around and do my mom's while I was visiting her. Guess I am a "professional" now. LOL

I use baking soda also. It is the only thing I have read that was recommended. I am glad to know about the lemon too. My husband swears his food doesn't splatter (without a cover) in the microwave .

I use hot water and dish soap, too. Always have. I don't have smells in my fridge....thanks to zip locks and plastic containers with lids. I'm a big fan of Dawn dish detergent, too.

I'm a hot water and vinegar girl myself. Vinegar is a natural disinfectant and the smell goes away quickly.
