🦠 Step 5: Deodorize Naturally

Even after cleaning, a faint smell can linger. Try one of these natural deodorizers:

1. Baking Soda

Place an open box or small bowl of baking soda inside the fridge to absorb odours.

2. Activated Charcoal

Great at neutralizing strong smells. Available at most hardware or pet stores.

3. Lemon Slices

Cut a lemon in half, place on a small plate, and leave it in the fridge for a few days.

4. Coffee Grounds

Dried used coffee grounds in a bowl can neutralize odours with a pleasant aroma.

💨 Step 6: Don’t Forget the Drip Pan & Gasket

Drip Pan: Located under the fridge, often forgotten, and can collect smelly residue.
Gasket (rubber door seal): Clean with vinegar and wipe dry to prevent mold or mildew buildup.

✅ Ongoing Maintenance Tips

Wipe spills immediately to prevent bacteria and odors.
Do a weekly check for expired or spoiled food.
Replace baking soda or other deodorizers monthly.
Keep food covered or sealed to reduce odour spread.
Ensure air circulation inside the fridge isn’t blocked.
