Quick Fridge Refresh

Placing a small bowl of bicarbonate of soda in your fridge helps absorb unwanted odours naturally. It’s a low-effort way to keep your fridge smelling fresh without using sprays or chemicals.

This works well alongside your regular cleaning routine and is ideal during busy periods like Easter when your fridge is in constant use.

Step-by-step

  • Step 1
    Take a small open bowl or container.

    Step 2
    Fill it with bicarbonate of soda.

    Step 3
    Place it at the back of your fridge.

    Step 4
    Leave it in place to absorb odours.

    Step 5
    Replace every 2–4 weeks for best results.

    A simple step like this keeps your fridge smelling clean with minimal effort.

Extra Tips

  • Tip 1
    Wipe up spills quickly to prevent smells building up.

    Tip 2
    Keep raw and cooked foods sealed properly.

    Tip 3
    Check expiry dates regularly and remove old items.

    Tip 4
    Give shelves a quick wipe during your weekly clean.

Did You Know?
