Spring:
Take several raw potatoes.
Cut them lengthwise into
halves or thirds and put sew
eral pieces in the refrigerator
or ice box or deep freeze.
Remove these when they need
to be changed. This you can
tell by the looks and feel Of
them. In your case / would
recommend a number Of
pieces and remove every two
days. replacing with fresh
ones. I can guarantee this
method. 1t will absolutely
keep out all odors, if you do
it regularly. We use them
in our deep freezers as well
and never have any odor at
any time. Best Of luck to you.
/ am sure you can continue
to use your refrigerator with
this method.

I had the same experience
with an ice box which you
describe. I washed 1t with
soda water and let 1t stand
many hours with the doors
open. but it was not until I
had the rubber replaced that
1t was disable.

I offer this suggestion. Use
vanilla. I had trouble after
Spilling milk. Some seeped in
the lining Of the door. ETC.,
and soured. I put vanilla on
paper towels around the
shelves and poured some in
the door lining. In q day or
so all odor was removed. This
idea came from a man who
sells electrical appliances.
