Does the distinctive smell of puke pervade your appartment? Look behind the fridge!

Or rather beneath it. As soon as we opened the door to our appartment, we were met by a distinctive and pungent smell of puke. We rather quickly pinpointed the source to be somewhere in the kitchen, and after having our noses all the way down in the trash bin, we discovered the source of the niff to be somewhere beneath the kitchen table, where the fridge and the dishwasher (that’s right we have a dishwasher ) are located. So I pulled them out and tediously vacuumed and washed the floor. Problem solved we thought, and happily left our apartment to do some shopping and stuff.

Once again we returned to the pungent smell – this time mixed with the smell of old overheated coffee, as we had forgotten to turn the coffee maker off. Only one thing to do then, get down on all fours and do some tracker dog work. This time I centered my attention towards the fridge, and discovered that the tray intended to collect surplus coolant water was swimming with what is best described as a wommit-like substance - definitely the source of the stench. So after giving the tray an outing to the bathtub our apartment has become a whole lot more pleasant place to stay.
