Food spills and forgotten ingredients can lead to unpleasant odors in your refrigerator.
Even with a clean fridge, stale and foul smells can persist, often caused by bacteria and
mold in the damp environment. Here’s how to tackle and remove those fridge odors
effectively:
Tackle the Source:
The first step to fridge freshness is identifying the culprit. Check for expired or spoiled
items and discard them immediately. Often, the source of the odor lies in the often–
overlooked drip pan. Remove the pan, clean it with a sponge or cloth, and use vinegar
solution to remove mold. Dry it thoroughly before putting it back.
Use Activated Charcoal & Baking Soda:
Activated charcoal powder is a wonder worker when it comes to odor elimination. Place
a small bowl of activated charcoal powder in your fridge to absorb unwanted smells.
Baking soda is another effective option. For a more stylish approach, sprinkle some
baking soda into an empty spice jar with holes and place it in the fridge for maximum
odor-absorbing power.
Air It Out:
Sometimes, a good old-fashioned airing out is all your fridge needs. Empty the contents,
wipe down the interior, and leave the doors open for an hour to let the stale air escape.
Remember, prevention is key! Store food properly, cover dishes, and clean up spills
promptly to maintain a fresh-smelling fridge.
