Christine, turn your fridge on really cold and let the meat refreeze, then clean it out with hot soap, water, and possibly bleach to kill any bacteria. When the fridge is cold, you're less likely to smell the grossness.

After I traveled for 5 days, I come home and have to throw in the garbage dump my Fridge.
I forgot to keep the eletricity in my home turned on so all the meat spoiled inside the fridge.
There is anything possible to do to recover a fridge from that kind of mess?

Not being superhuman stinks sometimes.

P.S. It cracks me up that Heather is frantically–that's how I picture it–cleaning for the housesitter. Yes, the person will be in your home checking things out…but still, it's kind of funny because I'll bet most of us would be so paranoid about what this person thinks. It's enough to make me forego even having a housesitter!

Okay, I've never even glanced at the bathroom fan, and had no idea I needed to clean the dryer hose…so I guess that's a confession already. I was GOING to say, before realizing I had that to confess, that my microwave, which sits up high in my kitchen cabinetry, really seriously needs to be pulled out and cleaned around. I can look directly under it because it's high and I'm short, and I don't like the look of all that dust. Or rather, I don't like the idea of someone else looking at all that dust and not liking the look of it…Also, the top of the microwave and the top of the fridge are places not to be visited by anyone who values cleanliness…or not by me either because I'm avoiding them. I can't even think about what I'd see on top of the kitchen cabinets…the only saving grace there is that the house is only three years old–not 15, 20, etc…

The meat drawer in the fridge was sticking for, oh, maybe 2 weeks ……… so to clean / un-stick it, I had to move the fridge out of its nook. Which meant the guilt piled on for me to clean behind and under the fridge (yuck), then disassemble and clean the fridge drawers and tracks (double yuck). So then, what the heck, I cleaned out the opening to the fan. (oh, my … cat hair clumped together with dist and held in place by grease. TRIPLE YUCK!)
No wonder I don't do this often.
And now you all have reminded me that the bathroom fan, the kitchen ceiling fan, and the dryer hose need to be cleaned, too …………. thanks a bunch! LOL

The undersides of the kitchen cabinets! One unfortunate incident with a mixer three months ago and just today I noticed that we still had some…remnants. Yuck.

I will tell you what, I have not even thought of dusting the bathroom fan before. Now I am going to have to check that out. I know every so often I clean off the top of the ceiling fan, and get a bunch of dust bunnies off of that, but I have never cleaned the bathroom fan. This should be interesting. Personally, I like Judy's idea, out of site, out of mind
