Help: rotting stench

[Shaggy]

Hi everyone....

I?m afraid I?ve done something rather stupid.

I?ve just come back from two weeks holiday to discover that I must have accidentally turned off our small freezer that we keep in the spare room.

So, in the heat it has totally putrefied and the smell is awful.

Does anyone know of any companies or any remedies that can help me sort it out and get rid of the smell?

For the smell, mix sodium bicarbonate with cold water into a paste, and coat the affect areas with that. Leave it for at least 30-40 mins before cleaning it off. It neutralises odours. Good for soaking laundry that animals have peed on too.

You can order a good sized bag online and have it delivered tm if you are quick;

Just to add, if it is a chest freezer, so you are looking down into a sealed tank. Could just fill it with cold water and dissolve a bag of that into it. Leave it overnight and empty it tm. That should get rid of the smell as well.

Thank you, Blah Blah. It seems to be working.

Yes ? thanks everyone. It was only a tiny under-desk freezer. God knows what it would have smelled like if it had been a chest freezer.

Hopefully it is all smelling rather better now :)
