I use warm water and soda. I then wipe it down with a damp cloth and vanilla gives a good smell

i use hot soapy water. I have three boxes of baking soda. first when it gets old for cooking, I put the opened box in the back of my fridge to absorb the oders, then I finally pour it into my garbage disposal and after letting it sit for a few minuts, I turn on the disposal and wash it down the drains. I rotate these boxes. adding a new one for cooking.

Good idea. I so something similar. I also dump baking soda, followed by brown vinagar in the drains. After 30 minutes I flush with hot water.

hey,i use a half gallon of vinegar/hot water, in my washing machine about once every couple months..it is supposed to get rid of the gunk and any smells,caught in any traps or hoses.(sort of like doing it to the coffee pot) plus it only smells like "easter" for a little while! lol!

when i do the garbage disposal, i use lemon and ice cubes..

Thats a great idea for the clothes washer. I heard that Tang (the drink of the astronauts) does the same for the dish washer. I will certainly use the vinegar for the washer.
Good thoughts
