You do not need to buy a variety of expensive products in the store to neutralize unpleasant odors in the refrigerator. There is a more budget-friendly and simple way. We are talking about tea bags.

FoodOboz editorial staff will tell you how a used tea bag will help neutralize unpleasant odour in your refrigerator. You will feel the change already the next day.

How to remove bad odor with the help of a tea bag

The used tea bag should be dried first and then just put on any shelf in the refrigerator. You can even put several. You will be pleasantly surprised by the result already the next morning. Tea not only removes bad odour but also has an antibacterial effect.

You can also prepare a special deodorant for the refrigerator to eliminate bad odor. The recipe was shared by food blogger Ruslana Hala (ruslana.gala) on her Instagram page.

What you need for deodorant:

• dry clean jar
• salt - 2 spoons
• baking soda - 2 spoons
• starch - 2 spoons
• essential oil - about 15 drops. The oil must be pure and with edible flavors (orange, lemon, rosemary, mint, etc.).

Method of preparation:

1. Mix all ingredients in a jar.

2. Put it in the refrigerator. It will be effective for at least a month. Starch prevents the essential oil from being weathered, and salt and baking soda absorb excess moisture and prevent odors from spreading.
