An odour absorber is a must-have in any household. Despite keeping your space clean and tidy, unpleasant smells can still emerge. So, if your fridge or cabinet emits a stinking scent, you need a homemade odour absorber. Here's a list of seven items that will effectively neutralize bad smells in your fridge.

How can you remove unpleasant smells from the fridge with a homemade solution?

A foul smell in the fridge is a common nuisance. While various commercial odour absorbers are available, they often fall short of expectations or come with a hefty price tag. We have some excellent recommendations if you're seeking a budget-friendly, homemade method to banish those fridge odours.

#1 Activated Charcoal

Our first suggestion involves activated charcoal. Begin by preparing five charcoal tablets. Crush the tablets to powder form and pour the mixture into a shot glass. Placing the glass on a shelf in your fridge will effectively tackle the smells. All the unpleasant odours should now be a thing of the past.

#2 Lemon

Another reliable method to combat fridge odours involves using a lemon. Peel a lemon and place the peels in a jar. After situating the jar in the fridge, those nasty smells should vanish. Orange peels work well, too!

#3 Coffee

Still struggling with fridge odours? Coffee can help. Fill a jar with coffee beans and put it in your fridge. This method is guaranteed to be effective.

#4 Lemon + Cloves

If you're fond of winter tea's aroma, lemon with cloves can be an excellent odour absorber. Cut a lemon into thick slices and insert cloves into them. Place these lemon slices on a piece of foil in your fridge for a pleasant scent.

#5 Eggshells

Try using eggshells. Crush the eggshells into almost a powder, transfer this to a jar, and place it on the side shelf of your fridge. This method is surprisingly effective.

#6 Cat Litter

Here's a tip that cat owners might find particularly handy: a little bit of cat litter in a jar in the fridge can effectively absorb unwanted smells.

#7 Baking Soda

The final suggestion for a homemade odour absorber is baking soda. Just a few spoons of baking soda in a jar placed in your fridge can make a significant difference. Do you have any personal tricks for eliminating bad smells in the fridge?
