Oh, I see. We need a sworn statement signed by all the inhabitants

soda.

Why not? The main thing is that bleach is very dangerous when being
used (Be very careful Cathy and do this in a Well ventilated area)>
However bleach tends to degrade very quickly so the fridge should be
fine in an hour or so. Of course my knowledge is from the instructions
for disinfecting wet basements and flooded houses not fridges.

Especially if you use it as either a scouring or absorbent compound,
meant to be rinsed or swept away. Just sprinkling it around or leaving
an open container of baking soda in the area does little or nothing.
And I've been cautioned against using any sort of powdered preparation
on carpet. Abrasion between carpet fibers and retained crystaline
cleaning solutions accelerate wear.

I my self have gone entirely to enzyme cleaners for clearing up
biological stinks. Works way better than baking soda, vinegar or
dancing widdershins around a lightning-blasted oak at midnight on Samhain.

John,

True, venting is key. I've tended my outdoor pool for years and one day ended
up at a WMCA to play racquetball with a bud and he showed me around and the
indoor pool, full of elderly women doing aquaerobics. There was NO venting. I
almost choked to death standing at the door, a few stairs above the pool.
ICK!!!!!!

No it does not, in fridges at least, I don't know about carpets.
Actually, I would not be surprised if it works on carpets because the
baking soda would be in actual contact with whatever smells.

You just think it works because you expect it to work. Or, it's the
passing of time that does the trick - like the guaranteed cure for the 3
day flu: drink a bottle of gin every day for 4 days.

How tragic that we don't live in times when the "emperor" led the troops
into battle. In person.
