EVER! It may seem like an easy way to get rid of a stain, but you (and your food) will pay for it in the long run. Use products without harsh chemicals. Products like Seventh Generation and Sun and Earth brand cleaners do not use harsh chemicals, are earth friendly, and do not leave a strong lingering scent that could be absorbed by food. Use Brillo. It is not just for pots and pans. Brillo (or your favorite brand) pads will help get that sticky stuff out quicker and without as much need for a spray cleaner. There is no residuals smells to be absorbed by food, and you can actually get done quicker. If you do use the kitty litter method mentioned by HB, first of all make sure it is UNSCENTED litter. And second, make sure your refrigerator is running efficiently and not creating much humidity (usually only a problem with older or refrigerators with a bad seal on the door). Otherwise you will have a nasty sticky litter mess, and once it absorbs the moisture, it will cease working at absorbing odors. Don’t use bleach based products in the fridge. EVER!

I tried this in the fridge at work and it worked very well. Putting a cup of clean kitty litter in the fridge also helps to keep it smell-free.
