Odours from the refrigerator are not always pleasant. But it gets even more unpleasant when the bad smell from the refrigerator can neither be located nor identified.
There are a few simple steps you can take to prevent bad smells from developing in the first place and to remove any unpleasant smells that are already there.
Quick tip: Get rid of bad smells quickly
If you get an unpleasant smell when you open the refrigerator door or if your appliance smells even when it is closed, you should act quickly. These two tips will help quickly and use existing household products:
1. Put a bowl of coffee in the refrigerator. This may absorb the bad smell. Do not use concentrated detergents.
2. Place a shallow bowl open in the refrigerator with a few tablespoons of baking powder or baking soda in (both work equally well).
