Fill a small, shallow bowl with coarse salt (sea salt or kosher salt works best). Place the bowl in the back of your fridge, where moisture tends to accumulate.
Replace the salt every 2–4 weeks or whenever it becomes damp.
2. Odor Neutralization
Mix salt with a few drops of essential oil (like lemon or lavender) and place it in an open container in the fridge.
The combination of salt and essential oils absorbs odors while adding a subtle, pleasant scent.
3. Clean Up Spills
Sprinkle salt directly onto any fresh spills or stains in the fridge. Let it sit for 10–15 minutes to absorb the liquid, then wipe it away with a damp cloth.
Bonus Tips for Best Results
For stronger odor control, combine baking soda and salt in a bowl.
Use this trick in the vegetable crisper to keep produce fresher for longer by reducing humidity.
Avoid iodized salt for fridge use, as it may clump more quickly due to its finer texture.
