Picture this: you crave something tasty and open your fridge but you are suddenly met with an unpleasant odor that kills your appetite right away. I’m sure we’ve all been there, right?
This can happen because you have forgotten a piece of cheese that grew some mold, or maybe other food went unchecked for some time. There also could be a leak that creates the nasty smell. Or, simply put, the smell that is rather unpleasant can simply come from the blend of foods stored inside your fridge.
No matter what the reason is, it’s not a nice experience.
Aside from regularly cleaning your fridge, there are some great hacks that can help you get rid of the odor.
Recently, I’ve heard some super advice that I found rather strange at first, but when you think about it, it does make perfect sense. Place a roll of toilet paper inside your fridge. If you wonder why, have in mind that toilet paper is one of the best moisture absorbers there are. It will not only absorb extra moisture but also eliminate the odors.
Leave it overnight, and it will make wonders. In the morning, the smell won’t be there any longer.
However, if you don’t feel comfortable placing toilet paper where you store your food, you can use newspaper instead. Just make sure you spray some water on it first, crumple it into balls, and place them in the corners of the fridge.
Another method is to use newspaper to line the fridge compartments. If you opt for this, make sure you replace the paper weekly.
In addition to toilet paper and newspaper, there are also other additional hacks every family needs to know.
Bread
Bread is also a great moisture absorber and has a pleasant aroma everyone likes. Simply place a piece of bread inside the fridge. You can keep it there for a month.
Orange or Tangerine Peels
Oranges and tangerines are one of the most refreshing fruits. When you enjoy their juice, don’t throw the peels away, instead placed them at different corners of your fridge and they will help you get rid of the unpleasant fridge odor in no time. You can keep them for three days before replacing them with new ones.
Baking Soda
Baking soda has multiple purposes. A lot of people use it for cleaning their home by combining it with other ingredients. For getting rid of the odor from your fridge, simply put a few tablespoons of soda in an uncovered container and place it inside the fridge. Keep it there until it serves its purpose.
Fresh Lemons
Simply slice fresh lemons and place them around your fridge’s compartments.
Dried Tea
Tea is known as an odor extractor, so place about 50gr of dried tea inside your fridge. After a month, take it out, dry it under the son again, and put it back.
Coffee Grounds
Coffee grounds play the same role, just place them inside a small cloth bag or a small cup and put it in the corner of the fridge. You can keep the ground for around three weeks before replacing them with new ones.
These great hacks are not just super effective, but they also won’t cost you much.
