Oooh that smell...
Rusty Shackelford:
You could try and Emzyme type cleaner. It eats whats causing the smell instead of just masking it. The one I used on my carpet (baby sick) I brought in a pet store!

Studies have shown that baking soda actually absorbs very little odor.

When I was a freshman in high school, I had a paper route, and one sunday morning while folding papers my dad hands me a page and shows me a story on some kid at a party in a wash within two miles of our house the night before....just a few hours before, actually....who was making chlorine bombs and blew himself up. Dead. Maybe another or two/few injured. Girl on my street was within fifty feet I think and made it out okay.

Hmm. Seems to work in the fridge. I dunno.
RayB:
The most common cause of a smelly cabinet are:
1. Years of dust
2. Cigarette smoke residue
3. less common (in my experience) mold
So a good cleaning, not even necessarily with anything so strong as bleach, usually does take care of 1 and 2. Clean both inside and outside. Bascially every surface you can.
