Have you ever had to clean out a fridge that has been out of power for over a month? I consider myself to have quite the strong stomach, but I have never felt so nauseous in my life like the time I helped a friend do exactly that.
His roommate pulled a not so nice move and moved out, and turned off the electricity. My buddy moved his stuff into another friend's apartment as he could not afford to continue to pay rent. After cancellation fees and the last rent payment, if he wanted to see any kind of reimbursement on his deposit, he had to clean up the mess his roommate left.
I said sue the bastard (he still hasn't to this day tried to take legal action) but I also said I would help him clean out the rented house.
Dear God.
Not all the Febreeze in the world could help as the stench was so awful that it clung to your clothes, skin, hair, and whatever it could permeate. Putrid isn't a strong enough adjective to describe the smell. Rancid isn't even close.
If you've ever smelled a decaying body, when it is as ripe as possible, I remember it being even worse of a smell than that. We had to take shifts of grabbing food out of the fridge, running outside with it, throwing up, then catching our breath. Rinse, repeat (we didn't really rinse until later).
As soon as I got home from that ordeal, I threw away everything I wore that day and showered, and showered, and showered, and showered. The circumstances are going to be more than extreme for me to ever to volunteer to clean out an old fridge again.
