Most people wouldn’t think of putting a towel in the fridge, unless they forgot it there. Interestingly, placing a towel inside your refrigerator can be quite useful when it comes to eliminating unpleasant odors.
Refrigerators are meant to keep our food fresh, but over time, they can develop an unpleasant odor due to the mixture of different scents. To address this issue, you can use a towel to wipe down and deodorize the fridge.
First, prepare a bucket of water and add some white vinegar. Stir the mixture, then soak a clean towel in the solution for about two minutes. Wring out the excess liquid and use the towel to wipe down the fridge.
Once you’re done cleaning, wash the towel and dip it into the vinegar solution again. Wring it out and place the towel inside the fridge to prevent and absorb any unpleasant odors.
Towels are highly absorbent and can soak up the unpleasant odors inside the fridge. Additionally, white vinegar is an excellent disinfectant, and the acetic acid in vinegar effectively absorbs and neutralizes odors, inhibiting bacterial growth. Therefore, placing a towel soaked in white vinegar in your refrigerator can easily eliminate unpleasant smells.
Other methods to eliminate refrigerator odors:
– White vinegar: If you don’t want to use a towel, simply placing a bowl of white vinegar in the fridge will do the trick.
– Tea: Mix some tea leaves with baking soda and place them in a disposable face mask. Hang this in your fridge. Tea leaves are great at absorbing moisture and odors while emitting a subtle, pleasant aroma. Baking soda also helps neutralize odors, making this combination effective at deodorizing your fridge.
– Citrus peels: Placing orange, lemon, or grapefruit peels in the fridge is an effective way to eliminate odors. The citrus oil in the peels contains a pleasant fragrance that helps neutralize unpleasant smells.
– Toilet paper: Toilet paper is highly absorbent due to its dryness. Take advantage of this property by placing toilet paper in the fridge; over time, it will absorb and eliminate any unpleasant odors.
