Instead of using baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) - or in addition to
the baking soda, try some charcoal briquettes. Put two or three
charcoal briquettes on a paper plate or small, shallow bowl and place in
the fridge in an open area. The carbon will be much more effective to
'soak up' the noxious odors in quick time. HTH.
