How can you make sure your fridge smells nothing but fresh? Here are some simple and effective tips.

Clean your refrigerator regularly

One of the main reasons for the appearance of odor in the refrigerator is pollution.

Therefore, it is important to regularly carry out a general cleaning of the refrigerator, washing all shelves, drawers and doors.

For this you can use warm water with detergent or soda.

Also, don't forget to throw out expired and spoiled foods that can pollute the air in the refrigerator.

Use odor absorbers

If cleaning the refrigerator does not help, you can try using special odor absorbents that absorb unwanted odors.

The simplest and most accessible absorbent is soda.

It is enough to pour a little soda into a small plate or jar and put it in the refrigerator.

The soda should be changed once a week. In addition to soda, you can use absorbents such as:

• activated carbon;

• coffee beans;

• lemon;

• bread;

• salt.

These products also need to be placed in open containers in the refrigerator and changed periodically.

Follow the rules for storing food

To prevent the appearance of odor in the refrigerator, it is important to follow the rules for storing food. For example, do not store products with a strong aroma in open packages or without packaging at all.

It is better to wrap them in film, foil or place them in tightly sealed containers.

Also, try not to overload the refrigerator with food to ensure good air circulation. And, of course, do not forget about the expiration dates of the products to prevent them from spoiling.

This way you can get rid of the unpleasant smell in your refrigerator and enjoy freshness and cleanliness in your home.
