Regularly cleaning the refrigerator will help keep it clean and fresh, but sometimes we are too busy or “winning laziness” to start cleaning. If you still tend to stuff “the whole universe” of food into the refrigerator compartment and still want the refrigerator to smell fresh, then try adding one of these three things:
1. Orange and lemon peels
Orange and lemon peels will help keep your refrigerator fresh!
After peeling the oranges and lemons, you can rinse them with water, dry them, and then place them in a corner of the refrigerator compartment. Orange and lemon peels contain a lot of essential oils, which help get rid of odors caused by various foods and vegetables.
However, you should not leave the orange and lemon peels in the refrigerator for too long. They only have a deodorizing effect for about 5-7 days.
2. Coffee grounds
Coffee grounds are great at absorbing odors
You can store coffee grounds in a cup or small bowl and place it in a corner of the refrigerator compartment. The coffee grounds will absorb the food odors, leaving the refrigerator virtually odorless. Coffee grounds can help deodorize the refrigerator for 1-2 months.
3. Baking soda
Similar to using coffee grounds to remove refrigerator odors, you just need to pour baking soda into a cup/bowl and place it in the refrigerator compartment! Baking soda is odorless but has the ability to absorb odors very well, so you can rest assured that it will effectively freshen up your refrigerator.
When you see that the cup of baking soda in the refrigerator is no longer dry and the powder becomes moist, it’s time to dispose of it and replace it with a new amount of baking soda.

Above are 3 small tips to help keep your refrigerator always smelling fresh even without regular cleaning. Despite the usefulness of these 3 tips, don’t let too much leftover food or withered fruits linger in the refrigerator. If you don’t clean the refrigerator weekly/monthly, at least wipe it once every quarter to increase the lifespan of the refrigerator and limit the growth of bacteria.
2 highly effective refrigerator cleaning methods you may not know
