Many housewives do not consider the refrigerator a place to store a kitchen sponge.
And in most cases they are right: a product used for washing dishes and wiping surfaces should not be left near food.
But a clean and dry sponge should be placed on one of the shelves of the refrigeration unit.
It turns out that this simple action will give a very interesting result.
The soft product will absorb excess moisture.
This will prevent food from spoiling prematurely.
The sponge will also remove unpleasant odors that often appear in the refrigerator.
The positive effect of using a soft item will be enhanced if you sprinkle the item with a small amount of soda.
Important: the sponge will become damp. It will have to be wrung out at least once every 7 days.
And every three weeks you will need to put in a new product.
And one more thing: the sponge that has done the job of ridding the refrigerator of excess moisture and stench is no longer suitable for washing dishes. The thing should be thrown away.
