How to Eliminate Bad Odors from Your Refrigerator Fast

The Mystery Smell

We've all been there: you open the refrigerator door and are hit with an unpleasant odor, even though you can't find anything rotting. Odors get trapped in the plastic walls and air circulation system.

Steps to a Fresh-Smelling Fridge

1. The Purge

Take everything out. Check expiration dates and throw away any questionable leftovers or limp vegetables.

2. Wash the Shelves and Bins

Remove all drawers and shelves. Wash them in the sink with warm, soapy water. Never use hot water on cold glass shelves, as they can shatter.

3. Wipe the Interior with Baking Soda

Mix 2 tablespoons of baking soda with 1 quart of warm water. Use this solution to wipe down the entire interior of the fridge. It cleans and neutralizes odors simultaneously.

4. The Coffee Ground Trick

If the smell persists after cleaning, place a small bowl of dry coffee grounds or activated charcoal on a shelf for 24 hours. They absorb odors incredibly well.
