How to eliminate an unpleasant odor from the refrigerator

Causes of an unpleasant odor

Most often it appears in old refrigerators, and this is due to the smallest damages in the skin of the chamber. With normal washing, bacteria, mold spores and small pollutants can remain there, which interact and create a living environment for themselves. To the fragrance does not appear, you need to regularly wash the shelves, walls and all parts of the device, and, necessarily with chemicals. Only they are able, penetrating deep into cracks, to effectively combat the multiplication of bacteria. Plus the constant use of the scent absorber for the refrigerator, and you will always smell of arctic freshness, and not a mixture of culinary masterpieces.

However, an unpleasant smell can be in the new refrigerator. These are the so-called technical flavors. Fresh plastic smells like production. The reason for this is the residual chemical compounds used in the manufacture of household appliances and plastics in general. Over time, they evaporate and are removed during washing, and the refrigerator stops smelling technically. However, it is possible to get rid of such an unpleasant neighborhood ahead of time with the help of careful washing and all the same absorbers, as detailed below.

5 grandfather's methods to get rid of the odor in the

refrigerator The majority of these methods have been known since the time of our grandmothers, but nevertheless they prove their effectiveness.

1. Vinegar
   The first place deservedly takes acetic acid. Some advise to dilute conventional table vinegar 1: 1 with water, but then it will cope with only a very weak flavor. If you need to get rid of the stale smell, which is already very noticeably transmitted to the products, you can use undiluted acetic acid, perhaps even medical. Be sure to use the gloves so as not to damage the skin of the hands, and cover the respiratory organs from vapors. After applying, wait 5 minutes and wipe all surfaces with ordinary baking soda. The smell will disappear immediately and for a long time.

   You can also wipe all surfaces with acid, and after that you can also put a glass with vinegar solution for a couple of hours in a closed refrigerator, but in the case of acid this will no longer be necessary.

   

2. Aspirin
   The solution of ammonia with water 1: 100 effectively helps. They wipe all the surfaces of the refrigerating and freezing chambers, after which they are washed off with water.

   

3. Soda
   Baking soda is also quite effective in fighting microbes that emit a smell, although it is inferior to the two previous methods. To treat the refrigerator in this way, it is necessary to rub all the surfaces with wet soda, leave for a few minutes and rinse with water.

   

4. Coffee
   Both technical and biological unpleasant aroma will perfectly absorb and perebet coffee. Grain can be placed on a shelf in an open container or suspended to a lattice in a breathable tissue bag.

   

5. Bow
   The most questionable of the grandfather's methods. It should always keep the bulb cut in half in the refrigerator in an open container. It is just like coffee, absorbs odors, but also disinfects the air. The downside is that the bulb itself exudes a persistent aroma that will not seem pleasant to everyone.
