conv: I found a salad in the refrigerator that I forgot about and it smelled horrible. I found a salad in the back of my refrigerator that I forgot about. It smelled awful when I opened the container it was in. Gross. It would have gone straight into the trash here. Yes_comma_ it went straight to the outside trash container. I was very surprised that my entire refrigerator didn't smell bad. You can use baking soda to get the smell out of it. Thanks for that information. I'll try it out.
