I have discovered that equal parts of Peroxide, white vinegar and water is the best cleaning mix ever. Cleans and sanitized anything! Great for walls (especially before painting). Use on most stains and really destroys odor.

Adding hydrogen peroxide to a rag to wipe down the fridge? Never thought of that before! We often donate old fridges. We help people to declutter and remove items they don’t need. Transferring a smelly fridge is one of the worst things we have to deal with. This will help!
