Do you hesitate to open the fridge because of a bad smell? Certain foods—especially if they linger too long—can cause your fridge to develop an odor. Thankfully, it’s easy to tackle with a few simple tricks.
How can I remove bad odors from my fridge?
Step 1: Empty and clean
Start by emptying your fridge. Wash the inside with a mixture of water and baking soda (or soda crystals). This will help neutralize odors and leave the space fresh.
Step 2: Add charcoal or baking soda
To prevent future odors, place a small bowl of activated charcoal or baking soda on a shelf. Both are excellent at absorbing smells.
Step 3: Cover your food
Make sure all food is stored in airtight containers. This keeps strong-smelling items from affecting the rest of the fridge.
With these steps, your fridge will be smelling fresh in no time!
