Refrigerator is one of the most used household appliance. We need to keep it clean and free from bad smells and odours.

Also, always cover it well before placing inside your fridge. It can prevent mixing up of different smells.  You can use white vinegar also instead of baking soda. Put some white vinegar in to a cup and clean the refrigerator to avoid odour. You can put a few grain of oats also, in a cup to absorb all bad odours.
