I have done both with the refrigerator, but now we turn the fridge off and prop the doors open.

It's what to do about the johns that I can't seem to find the right answer for.
We cover the bowl of the commodes with Saran Wrap which prevents the evaporation of the water. We are usually away for six months—most of the water is still there when we return. We also cover or use the drain plug on all sinks and shower drains. This keeps the water from evaporating out of the traps.
