What will absorb odors in a refrigerator other than baking soda?
Question:
Answers:
Charcoal - someone else mentioned this too. I found the perfect product that I've used for years and know dozens of other people that use it. Much better than baking soda. It is a product called FRIDGE IT carbon odor absorbers. It is a little purple cube with an incredible activated carbon filter inside that is really, really, great. The carbon literally absorbs and eliminates the odors and works for a long time. It works so much better than baking soda and all those sprays and fragrances that just cover up smells and doesn't get rid of them. Just put one in your refrigerator and one in your freezer. I use this product everywhere including car(smoke and pet smells), storage, closets, my fridge and also under sinks, near trash and have friends that use it on cat litter box and also diaper pails - it's that good. I really recommend it. You can buy it in kitchen gadget sections in stores like walmart and linens and things. I also think camping world sells it. Definitely worth trying
cleaning it out with pine sol and not letting it get to that point again
Lemmon - Flesh cut, change every two weeks
409. A total cleaning, all over. You dont want the fridge's theme song to be "Living in the Fridge."
Try a box of cornstarch in the frig.. it should work the same.
The inside or the outside of a refrigerator should never be washed with anything more than either baking soda and warm water or mild soap and water. Pine sol and all of those harsh chemicals leave a residue that gets into your food.
To absorb odors you could soak a piece of newspaper or paper towel or cotton ball with white vinegar. But baking soda or cream of tartar are your best bet. Pour a little in a saucer and place it in the back of the refrigerator. If there are stubborn stains on the walls or shelves you can slice a lemon and use the white part of the rind and rub away. rinse well no matter what you use and dry with paper towel.
Baking soda is your best bet.
coffe
You can put coffee grounds in a paper towel, or coffee filter,
pull paper to top and twist, then tie or rubberband to keep closed (as if you were making a sachet bag). Set on bottom shelf of fridge and it absorbs orders, plus makes your fridege smell wonderful!
Take a small bowl and put some cotton balls in it, and then pour vanilla extract on them, works awesome, moved into a house once and the fridge had food in it that had been in there for 2 weeks with the power off. The smell was unbelieveable, thought we would have to buy a new one, and someone told me about using vanilla, and it worked. Change about every 2 weeks, also works for musty smells in basement and other rooms.
i've heard of some people using regular charcoal inside their refs.
they said it also absorbs the odor.

drfrosting the entire fridge and then clean it out entirely. just try and clean it once or twice a month depending on how messy you are
