Alright Guys and Gals,


I got a Viv second hand and gave it a wipe out with bleach and water (roughly 1 part to 100 bleach to water). The problem is 2 days later it still smells 'bleachie'. Any recommendations? :)

I've wiped it down with just water with new sponges a few times now. I've just given it a wipe down with some lemon.

Best to wipe down again with plain warm water using a sponge and wipe dry with kitchen roll then leave to fully dry naturally. Take the glass doors off until the bleach smell has cleared.

lemon- is what I was going to say too- cos bleach is alkaline, you can counteract it with a mild acid, and lemon juice smells nicer than vinegar...

Try putting a halved lemon in viv for a few hours and plenty of fresh air afterwards pretty good for most strong odours.
