Why put a tea bag in the refrigerator

To neutralize unpleasant odors in the refrigerator, you don't need to buy a variety of expensive products in the store. There is a much more budget-friendly and simple way. And we are talking about an ordinary tea bag.

The FoodOboz editorial team will tell you how a used teabag can help neutralize the unpleasant odor in your refrigerator. You will feel the change the very next day.

How to remove an unpleasant odor with a tea bag

Dry the used tea bag first, and then simply put it on any shelf in the refrigerator. You can even use several. The next morning, you will be pleasantly surprised by the result. Tea not only removes bad odors but also has an antibacterial effect.

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

What you need for deodorant:

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

Method of preparation:

1. Mix all the ingredients in the jar.

2. Put in the refrigerator. It is valid for at least a month. Starch does not allow the essential oil to evaporate, and salt and baking soda absorb excess moisture and prevent odors from spreading.
