Baking soda

Sodium bicarbonate is often used as a deodorizer and a mild abrasive cleaner in many applications around the home. An open box can be used for controlling odors in the refrigerator and freezer, and baking soda can be used to freshen all types of drains when it’s time to replace the boxes in the refrigerator and freezer with fresh ones. When mixed with a small amount of water, baking soda paste acts as a mild cleanser that will remove stubborn spots from hard surfaces.
