THERE'S nothing worse than having a lingering bad smell in your kitchen and not being able to figure out where it's coming from.
Well, according to one cleaning guru, you may have been looking in the wrong place.
A TikTok user known as 'Cleaning Mummy' posted a video where she explains how she recently discovered where the "disgusting smell" in her kitchen was coming from – after finding a hidden tray behind her fridge.
Alongside the clip, she asked: "Did you know there was a fridge tray? How did you find out? When did you last clean it?
"Have you got a smell in your house, kitchen, or a smell that you think is coming from the fridge, but you've cleaned it, emptied it, and can't get rid of the smell?"
She then proceeds to explain: "This is more than likely where the smell's coming from – there's a tray at the back of your fridge."

She urged her social media followers: "Pull out your fridge, go to the bottom, and there's a pipe that runs down, which anything that leaks in your fridge runs down into this tray.
"You need to clear it. You can unscrew them and give them a wash if they're really bad.
