If you want to eliminate the smell in the refrigerator, a small amount of this powder should be dissolved in the same small amount of water, and then use the resulting solution to wash the refrigerator.

In general, that's all you need to do - remove the mustard residue with a damp cloth and wipe the refrigerator dry inside. The repulsive "aroma" will disappear along with the powder.

By the way, if there is any mustard left, you can use it to remove carbon deposits from the frying pan.

To clean dishes, fill them with warm water, add a small amount of mustard powder and leave for 10-15 minutes.

During this time, the dirt will become soft and you can remove it with a sponge without fear of damaging the non-stick coating.

For reference

Table mustard is a seasoning made from the seeds of plants of the Brassicaceae family (white mustard (Sinapis alba), sarepta mustard (Brassica juncea) and black mustard (Brassica nigra)).
