Life is full of surprises, pleasant and not very much. Something turns out to be a perfect surprise for us, and something is quite predictable. And this applies to all areas of our lives, both outside the home and within its walls. And if the flood, arranged by the neighbors from above, becomes a complete surprise, then, for example, the appearance of a strange smell in the refrigerator is understandable, and in some cases quite expected. But, as life practice shows, pleasant surprises should be accepted with joy, and unpleasant ones - eliminated. Therefore, if suddenly your sensitive nose caught in the refrigerator some not very pleasant or just an odor, you need to immediately remove this odor. Ideally, a clean and serviceable refrigerator should not smell of anything. But we do not always store food properly, and sometimes we do not take care of the refrigerator very carefully. It happens that the cause of the appearance of an unpleasant smell in it become spoiled food (oh, this is an abundance!), And it happens that the smell produces and quite fresh, but just very fragrant food (cheese or cutlets, for example). By the way, not all fresh vegetables smell good: onion or garlic, for example, easily make the refrigerator to make a fortune. Therefore, all products and ready meals should be stored only in sealed packages. And, naturally, you need to wash more often or at least wipe the inside of the refrigerator and freezer. By the way, in the fridge is not appropriate not only unpleasant, but also quite tolerable smell of food. Therefore, if it does appear there, we will try to remove it. 
Absorb the smell
This is the first of the most known methods of removalsmell from the refrigerator. You know that many available products and improvised products can absorb odor. If such a magic "sponge" is placed in a refrigerator, then it simply absorbs all the odors present there. First, the zealous hostesses used only home-grown adsorbents, and then they (and us too!) Had the opportunity to use industrial odor scavengers, or, as they are called, neutralizers. So, we offer you first a list of folk methods for removing odor in the refrigerator. For this purpose, any adsorbents available in your home are suitable.
- Activated carbon
Take from your medicine chest (or buy inthe nearest pharmacy) several packages of this wonderful remedy. For subsequent manipulations, you will need twenty or forty tablets. These tablets must be crushed into powder, poured into some kind of paddle and put in the refrigerator. Instantly, the smell will not disappear, but the next day it will become less tangible. Such a coal scavenger normally works for about two weeks. After this, it must be replaced with a new one or calcined with the same powder in the oven (minutes ten at a temperature of 180 ° C). And one more important point. The larger the open surface of coal powder, the faster it will cope with its task.
- Black bread
Acts similarly to activated carbon, butless effective. Suitable in case of a not very strong smell or for preventive purposes. Just cut small pieces of rye bread and lay them on the shelves of the refrigerator.
- Tea (food) soda
Also very good adsorbent. Its efficiency is lower than that of activated carbon, but higher than that of black bread. Take a small food container or any suitable plastic box. Fill it with soda and put in the refrigerator. This box can be kept in the refrigerator all the time, only changing its filler from time to time. This tool will help you not only to remove the unpleasant odor from the refrigerator, but also to prevent its appearance. Similar to these agents, other abrasive adsorbents act: sugar, salt, flour or starch. But they act gently enough to remove the persistent smell. But to warn his appearance will help.
- Industrial odor scavengers
They can be found in hardware stores oramong the related products in the stores of household appliances. The spread of prices for industrial scavengers is quite large. You can buy a cheap model, and a more expensive copy. Such absorbers are filled with the same activated carbon or they have a filling of safe minerals or a special gel. There are industrial scavengers for about two months. 
We smell the smell
The second way that you can remove the odor fromrefrigerator - this is its replacement by other, stronger and pleasant smells. Strictly speaking, this method in practice is the usual deodorization of the interior space of the refrigerator. Here, proven and proven deodorants are being used.
- Lemon
Known for its unique ability to interruptany smells and neutralize even the smells of garlic and onions. Not for nothing that almost all manufacturers of household chemicals use the aroma of lemon as a perfume for their products. You can make this yourself by mixing lemon and vodka: ten teaspoons of vodka per teaspoon of lemon juice. And if you do not want to dilute lemon juice with vodka, then mix it with water: one part of the lemon has two parts of water. With this tool, wipe the refrigerator from the inside by dipping a cloth or sponge in a lemon mixture.
- Vinegar
Also used as a neutralizerunpleasant odor and allows you to remove it from the refrigerator. By analogy with the lemon mixture, make an acetic solution, mixing six percent vinegar with water in equal proportions. Or just add a few drops of vinegar essence to warm, clean water, and then wash the refrigerator with this water. If the smell was too strong, then after water treatment leave in the refrigerator a vinegar soaked in cotton vinegar or a glass of vinegar, and then thoroughly ventilate the refrigerator.
- Ammonia
Just like vinegar or lemon, helps to removefrom the fridge any extraneous smell. A mixture of liquid ammonia and water wipe the refrigerator, before washing it. Then once again wash with clean water. For such a procedure, a tablespoon of ammonia is diluted in one liter of water. In a word, you can remove the smell from the refrigerator, even using improvised means or by purchasing a special scent absorber for these purposes. But it is best to remove the products starting to spoil the refrigerator from time to time, store all its contents in containers or packages, defrost and wash the refrigerator in time. By the way, scent absorbers (industrial or improvised) can be used for preventive purposes. Then no unnecessary aroma you will not leave a single chance! We advise you to read:
