Fridge cleaning and deodorisers

To clean the inside of the fridge:

• swish a small amount of washing up liquid in cool water.
• put a soft cloth into the water and then wring out well. Use to wipe the fridge out.
• rinse the soft cloth of all detergent before wiping a final time.
• Place one teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda into a small bowl. Fill the bowl with cold water to dissolve. Put a clean soft cloth into the solution then wring out well and use to wipe sides, surfaces and shelves.

I would never buy commercial fridge-deodorisers. They're expensive, may contain unwanted perfume, and probably contain [hopefully contain!] nothing more than bicarbonate of soda.

Bicarbonate of soda is dirt-cheap! You should pay no more than about 20p for a tub [rather than over a pound for a commercial deodoriser]. Remove the lid from the tub of bicarbonate of soda and tuck it somewhere in the fridge where it won't get tipped over. Replace it every couple of months or so.

You'll find bicarb. of soda amongst the baking ingredients at the supermarket.
