We have gone on several trips and no problem with the refrigerator. This last trip after returning from it. I noticed mole inside the refrigerator after a few days. How is the best form to get rid of this mole?

Thank You All In Advance

Bpriquia,
Mix up a solution of water and a little bleach, put on latex gloves and wash out frig with rag. When the frig is not in use after camping trips, leave doors open to allow air to circulate in he frig. This will keep mold from getting started.

Aloha,
I use Clorox to kill the mold spores and after you are through cleaning, open a box of Arm & Hammer baking soda and leave it in there to absorb any unwanted smell.

I clean mine with some bleach and water,and then wipe it down a bit of vanilla extract. I got the idea for vanilla extract from pamphlet that came with my ice chest.

I'm surprised no one mentioned buying a mole trap.

After cleaning and drying your fridge, put some folded newspapers inside the fridge and the freezer..I have NEVER had any probs or odors using this old method and I have had 13 RV's. I just reuse the papers too. As stated, use Clorox and water to remove the mold spores.Be sure and use this solution on your seals too where mold can cling. Never close up your fridge when the inside is still wet!

We just turn ours off and leave the doors open whenever we get home and unload the refer. We wash with dilute detergent as needed (every 3 trips or so). Works great. No mold or odors.
