opening your fridge and getting hit with
a nasty smell isn't great but fixing it
is pretty easy simply pour some baking
soda into a small container and place it
in your fridge a small bowl will work
but the more surface area the baking
soda has the better it'll absorb odors
spreading a note on a small plate is
perfect and if you don't have any baking
soda you can use fresh coffee grounds
instead they're pretty good at absorbing
smells and will give your fridge a hint
of that delicious coffee aroma
now that's an easy way to absorb bad
smells but it won't fix a source maybe
it's food that's gone bad or maybe your
fridge hasn't been cleaned in a while if
smelly leftovers are making your fridge
smell funky toss them if all the food in
your fridge is fine but there's still a
weird smell it's probably time for a
deep clean remove the shelves and bins
giving them a scrub down in soapy water
if you want to go the extra mile you can
also scrub them down with a baking soda
and water mixture or a water and bleach
mixture making sure to rinse them really
well do the same with the interior
surfaces of the fridge and then
reinstall the shelves and bins once
they're dry if your fridge still smells
after cleaning it it's possible
something's gone awry in your freezer
air gets circulated between the fridge
and the freezer so a bad smell could be
shared to check your freezer and make
sure it's working right if it's not
you'll want to toss out anything that is
spoiled and fix your freezer ASAP
once you've given it a good cleaning the
offending smell should be history now
that we've gotten rid of the smell how
can we make sure it doesn't make a
comeback the baking soda or coffee
grounds is a great start but you'll also
want to make sure all your containers
are sealed properly this way if
something spoils the smell won't invade
your fridge it'll also help eliminate
the spills and messes that can begin to
smell weird over time you should also
check your fridge door seal to make sure
it's not worn out cracked or broken if
it is warm air is getting into your
fridge which can make your food spoil
faster replacing it with a new one will
help your food last longer and keep your
fridge running efficiently thanks so
