Health Tip: Getting Rid of Refrigerator Odors
By LadyLively on October 29, 2013
Cleaning out your refrigerator regularly can help get rid of germs and odors.
The U.S. Food Safety and Inspection Service offers these suggestions:
- Create a solution of equal parts vinegar and water, and wipe down surfaces inside the refrigerator.
- Scrub the inside (including gaskets, drawers, shelves and sides) with a mixture of baking soda and water.
- Roll up newspapers, stuff them in the fridge and leave for a few days. When removed, wash with the vinegar and water solution mentioned above.
- Place baking soda or coffee grounds in an open container.
- Soak a cotton swab in vanilla and place in the freezer for several days.
- If you can’t get rid of stubborn odors, try a commercial solution, and follow the label’s instructions.
