what will absorb odors in a refrigerator other than baking soda???

Answer 1

Charcoal - someone else mentioned this too. I found the perfect product that I've used for years and know dozens of other people that use it. Much better than baking soda. It is a product called FRIDGE IT carbon odor absorbers. It is a little purple cube with an incredible activated carbon filter inside that is really, really, great. The carbon literally absorbs and eliminates the odors and works for a long time. It works so much better than baking soda and all those sprays and fragrances that just cover up smells and doesn't get rid of them. Just put one in your refrigerator and one in your freezer. I use this product everywhere including car(smoke and pet smells), storage, closets, my fridge and also under sinks, near trash and have friends that use it on cat litter box and also diaper pails - it's that good. I really recommend it. You can buy it in kitchen gadget sections in stores like walmart and linens and things. I also think camping world sells it. Definitely worth trying

Answer 2

The inside or the outside of a refrigerator should never be washed with anything more than either baking soda and warm water or mild soap and water. Pine sol and all of those harsh chemicals leave a residue that gets into your food.
To absorb odors you could soak a piece of newspaper or paper towel or cotton ball with white vinegar. But baking soda or cream of tartar are your best bet. Pour a little in a saucer and place it in the back of the refrigerator. If there are stubborn stains on the walls or shelves you can slice a lemon and use the white part of the rind and rub away. rinse well no matter what you use and dry with paper towel.

Answer 3

because the previous solutions have already stated, baking soda and baking powder, at the same time as appropriate, are 2 one among a kind elements, and they don't seem to be likely interchangeable in a recipe. (with one exception, so study on!) Baking soda is organic sodium bicarbonate, at the same time as baking powder combines sodium bicarbonate with an acid (maximum in many circumstances cream of tartar) and, maximum in many circumstances, a starch, which serves as a drying agent. when you think about that baking soda is a "base" substance (as in acid/base), and baking powder contains an acid, both elements create another chemical reaction at the same time as mixed with the alternative factors in a recipe. in the journey that your recipe calls for baking powder, you could't decision baking soda. in case your recipe demands baking soda, that you'll properly decision baking powder, although you could pick extra baking powder, and the type of the foodstuff received't be precisely what you assume. (Baking powder is waiting a million/4 practically as good as baking soda). desire this permits - there truly are not any quite astounding substitutes for those 2 merchandise. luckily, they're each and each and every somewhat low-priced, very last for fairly a lengthy time period in the pantry, and are accessible to seek out in any midway first rate grocery keep. astounding luck!

Answer 4

Take a small bowl and put some cotton balls in it, and then pour vanilla extract on them, works awesome, moved into a house once and the fridge had food in it that had been in there for 2 weeks with the power off. The smell was unbelieveable, thought we would have to buy a new one, and someone told me about using vanilla, and it worked. Change about every 2 weeks, also works for musty smells in basement and other rooms.
