The only things that are unwrapped are vegetables. I have not noticed any smelling.

Best tipp i ever got in this regard was putting a cup of crushed charcoal in the fridge. Absorbs odors for years.
Activated charcoal or BBQ charcoal? Does either work?
BBQ
Interesting! Never heard of that but it makes sense.
Not at all. Full cleaning once a week. If you do it that often, it only takes half an hour.
Also, keep everything wrapped and don't let leftovers and condiments accumulate.
Good point about condiments, those really tend to accumulate in fridges for years. Sometimes I just don't shop for a few weeks and try to use up all the food at home.
We don't clean ours as often as we probably should, but our fridge is also weird to begin with. It has this fun habit where it gets so cold that the top shelf will literally form ice, and that's if we have it on the medium setting. On the high setting, it turns into a vertical freezer lol.
It looks sick in the dark sometimes, because you can literally see the cold air coming out.
