Many people know that baking soda should be stored in a cool, dry place.

This is why sodium bicarbonate packaging is most often placed in the kitchen cupboard.

And yet, sometimes experienced housewives pour sodium bicarbonate into a glass and put the container in the refrigerator.

At first glance, this action is absolutely pointless. Moreover, it is dangerous for soda, because high humidity has a bad effect on it.

However, once a week, soda should still end up in the refrigerator. And not for storage, but for a completely different purpose.

The meaning of the action

Placing a glass of sodium bicarbonate in the refrigerator every week is a guarantee of eliminating unpleasant odors.

The thing is that a stench often appears in the device. And not only because of spoiled products, but also because of the “combination” of incompatible smells.

Baking soda acts as a sorbent, absorbing excess "aromas". The product copes in one day.

If you use the “soda” life hack once a week, you will have to clean the inside of your refrigerator less often.
