Brilio.net - The refrigerator is often a place where unpleasant odors gather because it is often left damp. In addition, many people put food without a tight lid, so that the aroma of the food spreads and sticks to the refrigerator shelves . Even after cleaning, the unpleasant odor often remains. Usually, people use kitchen ingredients such as vinegar which has a high acid content to clean the refrigerator. However, if you don't have vinegar at home, you can try a trick from a netizen on the TikTok account @myversionofzen. According to him, even without vinegar, there are other ingredients that are just as effective for cleaning and removing unpleasant odors in the refrigerator.
The first step, remove all food and drinks from the refrigerator first, because the shelves will be removed from the refrigerator to be washed. Don't forget to unplug the refrigerator so that it doesn't get damaged quickly when the refrigerator door is left open.

If the refrigerator is already clean, you can immediately try to remove the smell. The first way, you can use 70% alcohol. This material can be purchased at the nearest pharmacy. Spray the alcohol sufficiently into the inside of the refrigerator, then wipe it with a clean cloth.
"This method is highly recommended, because the smell disappears instantly," added the owner of the TikTok account @myversionofzen while showing the process of adding alcohol liquid in his refrigerator, quoted by BrilioFood on Monday (13/1).
After that, don't forget to reinstall the washed and dried refrigerator shelves into the refrigerator. Then, put in the food or drinks again and connect the power supply.

Meanwhile, if your alcohol liquid has run out or you don't have any stock at home, you can also use kitchen ingredients, such as baking soda and coffee or tea powder. Well, for baking soda, you just put it in a bowl, then store it in the refrigerator for 24 hours. This baking leavening agent is known to absorb bad odors.
In addition, if you want to use coffee or tea powder, the method is the same, namely put it in a bowl, then leave it in the refrigerator. These two ingredients can not only absorb unpleasant odors, but also spread a fragrant aroma. If you use coffee, you can leave it in the refrigerator for 24 hours.
"Tea powder can be left for 3-4 days before being replaced so that the contents of the refrigerator remain fresh. The tea used can also be used tea that has been dried again," explained a netizen on the TikTok account @myversionofzen.
