Default How to get rid of a "stink" in the fridge?

We have two fridges. One big, one small. Keep the milk, cream, butter,
juice etc. and a few "overflow" items in the small one. There must have
been some milk or cream leaking in the smaller one at some point that I
didn't notice - until I could smell that awful "sour milk" smell when I
opened the door. Anyway, I pulled everything out and, lo and behold,
there was some "rotten" milk solids at the very bottom of the fridge -
hiding under the "vegetable trays". Yuk! So I scrubbed it all out with
various "disinfectant" products (that are available here) yesterday, but
I can still smell it every time I open the door. Double-yuk. Now what?
Do I empty the whole thing and try and find space for the milk etc. in
the other fridge, switch it off and leave it open for a few days, or...
Any other ideas?
