Place a tea bag in the refrigerator overnight – here’s why you should do it…

Unpleasant refrigerator odors are a big problem in the kitchen. So how to deal with this situation?
You may be used to using baking soda to deodorize, but did you know that tea can do the same job?
If you place a used tea bag in the refrigerator, the herb leaves will absorb odors and leave behind a fresh scent. This is due to the antibacterial properties of tea that fight potentially pathogenic bacteria and germs in a simple and ecological way.
What you should do:
-
- Take a used tea bag and let it dry completely.
- Then place it on a saucer or cup in a central place in your refrigerator.
- You can also hang it.
- If your refrigerator is especially large or has a very strong smell, you can use several tea bags.
- For maximum odor control, replace sachets every few days.
- If you use this unusual trick every day, your refrigerator will always smell good!
Why does the refrigerator smell bad?
Unfortunately we have the habit of storing food incorrectly in the refrigerator and this can cause a bad smell. Because the food inside the refrigerator, along with the humidity, creates a perfect environment for mold and bacteria.
Do not panic! Find the source of the bad smell and get rid of it. And next time, remember to put your food in an airtight box or container before putting it in the refrigerator.
