Mine’s not smelly. Like others have said, I use glass containers for leftovers etc, and I also wash and store like lettuce and veggies in ziplock plastic bags. I probably deep clean mine a couple times per year… definitely spot clean if there are spills etc.
If you have any odors you could try putting a box of baking soda in your fridge to absorb them. They actually sell fridge boxes of them with side panels that are mesh and easy to use.
Not really asking because I am affected. I just used to go out with someone who had a very smelly fridge full of meats and cheeses. I wanted to know if this is something a lot of people do.
Normally, my own fridge doesn’t smell though. The last time I had any kind of smell, there were a few rotting limes somewhere in the back, and that produced a weird chemical odor which started clinging to dairy products. Finding and eradicating that took a while.
That person must’ve spilled something and not cleaned it up. Normally, as you’ve seen, if you use containers and bags to store stuff it shouldn’t be a problem.
I keep tons of meat and cheese in the fridge, and the only time it smelled was when the MIL spilled milk in it and neither cleaned it up nor told someone about it so the more able bodied could take care of it.

No, they were just really big on specialty meats/cheeses in open containers, left in the fridge for weeks.
