An odour absorber is truly essential in any home. After all, unpleasant smells can still form anew even if you keep a place tidy and clean. So, if a stinking scent is wafting from your fridge or cabinet, you must try a homemade odour absorber. We have compiled a list of 7 products that will effectively neutralize the foul smell in your fridge.

How can you remove an unpleasant smell from the fridge using a homemade method?

Many people deal with a foul smell in their fridges. Of course, many professional odour absorbers are on the market, but they aren't always effective and can be pretty expensive. So, if you're looking for a way to remove unpleasant smells from your fridge and want to use a homemade method, we have some great suggestions.

1 Activated Charcoal

The first of these involves using activated charcoal. Start by preparing five charcoal tablets. Then, pour the contents of all the tablets into a shot glass. It's worth having the tablets and just pouring in the powder. Next, you have to place the glass with charcoal on one of the shelves in your fridge. Done! Now, all the bad smells from the fridge should finally be forgotten.

2 Lemon

A lemon trick is another effective way to remove bad smells in the fridge. Just peel the skin of the citrus and put it in a jar. After placing the jar in the fridge, you will surely eliminate unpleasant smells. Remember, you can also use orange peel for this!

3 Coffee

How to get rid of an unpleasant problem? That's not the end of our suggestions for removing the bad smell in the fridge. You can also prepare an effective odor absorber with coffee! Just pour some coffee beans into a jar and place it in the fridge—guaranteed effect.

4 Lemon + Cloves

If you like the scent of winter tea, a great odor absorber for you will be lemon with cloves. Simply cut the citrus into a few thicker slices, and then stick the cloves into them. Then, lay a piece of foil as a base in the fridge and simply place the prepared lemon slices on it.

5 Eggshells

The next trick involves using eggshells. Just make sure to blend the eggshells well until they are almost powdery. Then, transfer them to a jar and place the jar on the side shelf of the fridge.

#6 Cat Litter

The next method will especially appeal to cat owners. Pour a bit of cat litter into a jar and place it in your fridge. Now you can forget about all the foul smells.

#7 Baking Soda

The last trick for a homemade odour absorber is baking soda. Simply pour a few spoons of baking soda into a jar and place it in your fridge! And what are your ways of removing foul smells in the fridge?
