          Anyone know effective ways to get rid of mildew smell from an RV fridge that was left closed in storage? I just checked on it and noticed we forgot to leave it open. Oops!

              I would wipe it out with vinegar and leave an open box of baking soda in there to absorb any odors.

                  Yup, regular old vinegar will do the trick. And if you plan on leaving it in storage until Spring, that should be enough if you leave the door open from here on out. But if you’d like to use it anytime soon, then like ia_camper said, baking soda should work or coffee grounds.

                      Thanks for the tips! Vinegar seemed to do the trick. I’ll just leave it open since we aren’t using it anytime soon. 🙂
