Causes of Odor
Even if your refrigerator does not have a delay or spoiled products, then, for example, an open can of canned food and a pan with borscht are mixed with smells and give a single, not very pleasant aroma.
If a drain hole is clogged in your refrigerator, it will immediately lead to an unpleasant odor. To avoid this, you should wash the refrigerator at least once a week.
And of course, the most popular bad smell problem is spoiled foods. After all, we do not always notice that it is time to throw out a three-day half-eaten dinner or an opened packet of milk. Therefore, unpleasant odors settle in the refrigerator, eating into plastic and dousing us with aroma every time we open the door.
My fridge
The very first prevention of an unpleasant odor in a refrigerator is washing it. Twice a week you should wash the refrigerator more thoroughly, but try to wipe the shelves with a dry towel daily. If you spilled soup or soup and the droplets are dried, then the towel can be slightly moistened with water.
In no case should you wash the refrigerator completely while it is plugged in. Daily cleaning of shelves involves only a partial cleaning of stains or smudges.
Vinegar
Vinegar is a great remedy that removes bad smell from the refrigerator. Vinegar must be diluted with water 50 to 50 and thoroughly wiped with such water on all shelves, doors, containers, as well as the inside of the refrigerator.
The drain hole can be cleaned with a cotton swab dipped in this composition.
Lemon juice
Thanks to lemon juice, you can get rid of the unpleasant odor from the refrigerator. Not only does lemon remove the smell, it also gives its delicate, citrus flavor, which lingers in the refrigerator for a long time.
Dilute lemon juice in this way: 1 tablespoon diluted with 70% alcohol per 1 liter of water. Lemon juice can be squeezed out of lemon or just use citric acid.
Ammonia
Ammonia has a rather unpleasant odor, but it fights well with other unpleasant odors. Dilute alcohol in 1 liter of water 1 tablespoon and mix thoroughly. Rinse the entire refrigerator afterwards.
Remove odors with additives
Activated carbon
Take ordinary activated carbon and calcine it in the oven at 180 degrees. After pulling it out and let cool. Then pour it into a small container, maybe two or three and put on each shelf in the refrigerator.
Coal perfectly absorbs any odors of food, which will keep freshness in the refrigerator for a long time.
Coffee
Coffee in exactly the same way as activated carbon can eliminate bad odors from the refrigerator. By the way, coffee can be of any brand: expensive or cheap.
Odor absorbers
In today's world, there are special small devices that are inserted into the refrigerator and freshen the air without affecting the products. They are distinguished among themselves by power, duration of work, and also the quality of the filter.
The action of the absorber is simple. It, like a regular air filter, draws in any odors and passes through the filter.Such devices are considered the most convenient and practical in terms of eliminating unpleasant odors from the refrigerator.
