Swap Baking Soda For Charcoal To Keep Fridge Odors At Bay
By MORGAN MCCRORY
While baking soda is good at neutralizing acidic odors, it can't absorb many base odors. It also requires a large surface area to be effective, taking up space in
the refrigerator.
On the other hand, activated charcoal can trap both acidic and base odors — and it takes far less time than baking soda to perform its magic.
The charcoal can be spread evenly across a wide surface and left for two to three days to eliminate foul odors or placed in vented pouches or jars for everyday use.
