How can I get a fish smell out of a plastic cutlery drawer without damaging the finish?
Our answer
Remove and wash the removable component in warm mild detergent, then rinse and fully air-dry the affected item; replace an odor-saturated seal instead of covering it with perfume.
Why this approach makes sense
Materials, cleaning instructions and equipment design vary. Pick a reversible approach that fits the exact surface or appliance.
Before you try it
Check the model instructions and test on a small area before committing to a permanent change.
