A bad-smelling fridge is enough to make us lose our appetite. If every time you open your fridge, you are hit by the smell of stale food that has been stocked up since the past two weeks, you may be left wondering how to remove the stink. Often, it takes a lot of time to discover what’s causing the stench – it may be spoiled food, a spill (especially on the bottom shelf), or mold behind the door, among others.
There are several organic and remedial ways to remove refrigerator smells, other than using artificial refrigerator deodorizing agents. Here are a few tips, mostly healthy, green and inexpensive, that can be helpful in getting your refrigerator clean, hygienic, and odorless:

1. Baking soda in a jar
I know that we’ve all heard that you should keep a box of baking soda in the fridge to keep odors at bay, right? I also like to try this idea for even more odor-fighting effectiveness: put the baking soda in a shaker jar. I also like to put it in a cup and place it on the shelf in the fridge. That way there is more airflow as well! The more baking soda is exposed to the air both ways, allowing it to absorb more odors. If you want to go the extra mile, put a couple of drops of essential oils in the baking soda too! I like the citrusy smells the best. Essential oils are a great way to boost the fresh smell to get the stink out!

2. Baking soda in a coffee filter
If you’re anything like me you need your coffee to wake me up in the morning! Coffee in the morning, coffee in the afternoon, coffee in your refrigerator?? Sure why not! There is another idea that involves coffee: you simply put some baking soda in a coffee filter, tie it up, and put it in your fridge. This was such a genius idea and so simple and convenient too! This allows for plenty of circulation and absorption of odors, too.

3. Charcoal
I personally love charcoal to get rid of toxins in your body! Why not use it for getting rid of stinky smelly refrigerator smells too?! Sure why not?! This idea was a new one for me but it might just do the trick for you! All you have to do is put a few briquettes in a bowl in the fridge or use one of these handy Fridge-It cubes to hold charcoal and hang it out of your way.

4. Newspapers
Newspapers are great for reading but they also help absorb smelly odors as well! Remember that time your kid turned the switch off on the front of the deep freezer from our basement and we had no idea for days! Imagine the horrendous smell?? So when the power goes out or your son decides to turn off your freezer and food has gone bad in the fridge or freezer, it can take several days to get the stink out. In addition to the charcoal idea above, clear out all the food and stuff lots of newspapers inside. Repeat for a few days until the odors are gone.

5. Press ‘N Seal
So when you think of press and seal I am thinking of those sticky things that you place in the bottom of kitchen cabinets! There are so many other uses including in your fridge! This is just another genius trick to prevent smells by cleaning up messes FAST. It can make cleanup a breeze by applying Press ‘N Seal wrap to your refrigerator shelves. Have a spill or a mystery sticky substance? Just pull up the wrap and replace it.
