Instruction manual
1
Before you start an active fight against an unpleasant odor, you need to remove all food from the refrigerator, calculate the cause of the "aroma", and eliminate it. Then prepare a solution of one part of ammonia and one hundred parts of water, mix thoroughly. Moisten a cloth in the prepared composition and thoroughly wipe the inside of the refrigerator, do not forget about the sealing gum and hard-to-reach corners. A mixture of water and lemon juice (juice of one lemon per glass of water), which you need to wash the walls and shelves of the refrigerator, copes well with the task. After that, put inside any citrus peel.

The new refrigerator, like any other equipment you just bought, has a specific smell. So that it does not mix with the aroma of food, it is recommended to thoroughly wash the refrigerator before use. To do this, use a warm solution of water with the addition of baking soda or dishwashing detergent. Wash the refrigerator inside and out, then wipe dry with a clean cloth, leave the door open for a couple of hours to ventilate. After that, you can safely turn on new equipment and add products.

Thoroughly wash all the walls and shelves of the refrigerator with a soft cloth dipped in a solution of vinegar. To prepare it, mix water and vinegar in equal proportions. You can put on the shelf an open container with baking soda, it perfectly absorbs odors. Once every three months it is necessary to change the soda to fresh. Activated and charcoal have an adsorbing effect, therefore, they cope perfectly with all kinds of odors, including in the refrigerator. Grind the charcoal and pour it into a small saucer, leave it in the refrigerator (or put twenty to thirty tablets of activated carbon in a rag bag).

Regular rye bread will help in the fight against odors in the refrigerator. Cut a few slices from a loaf of bread, put them on several small plates and put on each shelf of the refrigerator turned on (but empty, without food). Leave the bread for eight to ten hours. By the way, instead of brown bread, you can use ordinary rice grains, which have the ability to absorb odors. Spread basil, cloves, tarragon, turmeric, thyme, or cinnamon inside the refrigerator.
5
Brew natural concentrated coffee, drain into a cup and place inside the refrigerator to cool. Repeat this procedure several times, but before that, disconnect the device from electricity. Coffee will act as an odor absorber for the refrigerator. If this method is not suitable for you, then you can roast coarsely ground coffee in a pan, put it in a cotton bag, and place it on the shelf of the refrigerator.
