Good Luck
kvh said:Actually, that won't do much. Baking soda curing odors in the fridge is all a myth, read here: http://www.newton.dep.anl.gov/askasci/chem00/chem00388.htm
That said, I'm pretty confident I have some in my fridge right now with just that intent.

I do agree that activated carbon aka acitvated charcoal would be more effective. Although I would suspect that activated carbon is more expensive.
And I agree that the limited surface area of a box especially if crusted over by moisture would hamper it's absortion abilty. That could easily be remedied by placing the baking soda in a container with a large surface area such as a plate or by removing any crusted over baking soda periodically from the surface of any container.
Futhermore he stated that if the odor were acidic in nature the baking soda would absorb it. Although not as effectively as activated carbon.
Fingers said:After you clean it, pack it full of newspaper. It will absorb the aroma.
