Well, my roommate and I have been hunting the source of a "funk" in our kitchen for the few days. Pungent and unsettling, it has been a monkey on our backs.
Well, today... I found it.
There's this little corner cupboard under the sink (you know the ones with the TINY doors and the HUGE space in there?) Well, when we moved into this place four months ago, we were big on potatoes. We bought a whole lot of them, and they got stored in there. Then, we got sick of potatoes and forgot about them. We also shunned the cupboard, because Napoleon loved to get stuck in there. So it was sealed.
I wish I had never opened it.
I think in another week I'd've had vodka in there! It was the grossest smell/gunk ever -- potato rotten beyond all imagination.
After scraping it all out, I cleaned the whole cupboard with an aggressive spray cleaner. No real help, the smell stayed. Then, I soaked the whole thing in white vinegar. Funk remained. I covered the bottom in baking soda. Funk hangs on. Cut up onions and put them in. Now it's just Funk and Onion. (sounds like a hideous chip flavour.)
This is SO GROSS! Whenever I go to the fridge or sink, I get hit by the Funk. The cats avoid the kitchen because of it. I wish I had never released it...
Anyways, any ideas on how to get rid of this demon? Please?! I'm pretty desperate...
If nothing else, maybe some prayers (or an exorcism
) will help.
