Onion odor - eeewwww!

I did a really dumb thing. On Sunday I cut open a big purple onion and used a couple of slices in a dish. Then, wanting to be frugal and not throw the rest away, I wrapped the rest of the onion in plastic wrap and stuck it in my fridge, on a plastic shelf in the door, face-down. Okay, I'm 55 and have almost never used onions. I only bought a big one because they were out of the little pearl onions. Now, two days later, my fridge smells to high heaven! I washed out the little shelf I had put the onion on with soap and water and it didn't do anything to help. So far, all I've been able to do is put a big lump of baking soda on the shelf and hope a lot. Any ideas?

Cat Odor
Try spraying Febreze animal odor eliminator. Works very well for me. Had two spots in two different areas of living room carpet. Can't smell anything now. I did use a mixture of vinegar and water prior to using the above though.
Mattress odor
OK, this is a little gross, but I know you ladies are a fountain of knowlege about all kinds of things, so I'm hoping you can help. My adult niece just left after spending 2 months living with us after a rough spot in her life. She slept in my college daughter's room in her bed. There is a bad smell in the room, and I can't get rid of it even after airing out the room for 2 days. I have traced it to the mattress, mainly at the foot of the bed. She had a cat in there with her but it smells nothing like cat urine, and there are no stains at all on the mattress. I honestly think it's some kind of weird body odor, probably from the feet, and seems to have permeated an area of the mattress. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I should do to try to get rid of this odor, short of dumping the mattress? I'll do it as a last resort, but I hate to spend the money to get a new one. HELP!
I would think if the odor was truly BAD and a problem, it's something bacterial, and nothing an O

Is she actually dirty or does she have an odor problem?
Who told you she needs a bath?
Can I ask why you aren't able to brush her? There are a lot of new products and tools that can help if you have a problem with your hands or arms.
I have clients who get their dogs bathed every week but I really don't recommend that, especially for a collie type of coat. Unless your groomer missed something she should be good for quite awhile in that department.
You'll have to get something with a biological odor eater in it. Fabreze is not

My new favorite is Vidalia onion cornbread sm
Vidalia Onion Cornbread (from Paula Deen)
1 box Jiffy corn muffin mix
1/2 stick butter
1 large Vidalia or other sweet onion, chopped
1 egg, beaten
1/3 cup whole milk
1 cup sour cream
1 cup grated Cheddar cheese, divided
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp dill weed (which I leave out)
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Spray an 8-inch square baking pan with vegetable oil cooking spray. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and saute the onion until tender, but not browned, for about 3 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and add the muffin mix, egg, milk, sour cream, 1/2 cup of the cheese, the salt, and dill weed. Stir to combine. Pour into the prepared pan and top with the remaining 1/2 cup cheese. Bake for 30 minutes, until set and a toothpick inserted into the center of the cornbread comes out clean. Allow to cool slightly before cutting into squares.
I double the recipe and bake it in a 9x13 or even 11x15 pan and it comes out great. And to keep the cheese from getting too dark, I add it the last 10 minutes instead of at the beginning. So yummy!
Second favorite is corn casserole, very similar to the onion cornbread.
Corn Casserole
1 pkg Jiffy corn muffin mix
8 oz sour cream
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1 egg
1 can whole kernel corn (do not drain)
1 can cream-style corn
1 stick of butter
Melt the butter in an 8x8 baking dish in a 400-degree oven. Meanwhile, mix the corn muffin mix, juice from whole kernel corn, egg, and sour cream until well mixed. Add remaining ingredients and pour into dish with butter. Stir slightly to mix in the butter. Bake 30-45 minutes or until set in the middle.
Again, I have doubled this recipe and baked in a 9x13 pan; however, do not double the butter or it is too greasy.
Sometimes I chop a little onion and add to the salmon with fresh
parsley. Sometimes I will add just a touch of mustard. Any way I make them they seem to turn out good. I usually just make them with egg white instead of the whole egg, but sometimes will add the egg yolk as well. I love salmon and make it frequently for myself as well. 
You need a biological odor killer. Found in better hardware stores. Have no
Names are something along those lines, but make sure it has the word biological in it. If you can wash the blanket, put some in the wash water. If it's not washable, then just spray it for a few days in a row while hung up. I got rid of smoke odor in a couch using this stuff. It really works! Fabreze and other name brand odor eaters are not enough to do a complete job. The stuff is pricey, but worth it. Gets rid of skunk, mold smells, vomit, all kinds of funk! You can probably search for these products on line and then see if your local hardware stores or cleaning supply places have them locally. Good luck! nm
Sounds like bacterial vaginosis to me. Is it a fishy odor? occur after sex too?

Pasta with zukes, carrots, onion, garlic, basil...sm
sauted in olive oil, with a garden salad. All of that (except the pasta, of course) from the garden. You guys posted lots of yummy plans.
Absolutely love tomato and Vidalia onion sandwiches.

Mojo criollo marinade - citrus, garlic, & onion sm
I can get it at my local grocery stores and use it on pork loin or chicken, and I have even found a fresh sausage with the flavor already added to it. Very good with yellow rice, black beans, and peas.
I shred the beef and saute with a little finely diced onion and butter,
then add a bit of flour to make a roux and brown that lightly. Then warm milk to "cream" it. I like a bit of good paprika, sometimes the hot variety, at the end.
I LOVE love love shallots! I use them in everything that calls for an onion and/or garlic. Mmmmmm. n

Believe it or not, but I take Walmart brand Onion and Garlic and mix it with a jar of Walmart brand
Mixing the two sauces togeter gives it the right amount of garlic and veggies. Our family is Italian on both sides, but we all agree for a quick jar sauce instead of homemade, this does the trick! YUM
