Wondering whether people keep a lot of smelly, unwrapped stuff in there, cleaning schedules, etc.

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

      Open containers are a no-no for me.

      Closed containers are easier to store, if something goes off it doesn’t affect the other stuff next to it. Imagine having mold spores going from one cheese to another to different kinds of deli meats just because you didn’t keep them in closed containers or ziploc bags.

      Second. If something is naturally smelly it will usually impart smell on other things nearby.

      Imagine having a really smelly cheese right next to a gouda. The gouda will take on the smelly cheese and everything in the fridge will now smell like smelly cheese.

      Plastics also takes on smells really fast. So even if you remove all those cheeses and meats that smell or put them in locked containers then the fridge will still smell.
