Although the refrigerator is our biggest helper in keeping our food healthy and safe, it can become a big problem when an unpleasant smell starts to rise due to misuse. Fortunately, there are solutions we can recommend to you.

But before moving on to the answer to the question of how to remove the smell in the refrigerator, it is helpful to learn the cause of bad odours. After all, the easiest thing is to prevent unpleasant smell before it occurs.

Why does a bad smell occur in the refrigerator?

Many factors such as the refrigerator not being cleaned adequately, rotting fruits, spoiled food, dirty water accumulating at the back of the fridge, and insufficient air filter are among the factors that cause bad odours in the refrigerator.

In addition, not paying attention to the routine cleaning of the refrigerator, stuffing the refrigerator, or placing the foods randomly and without covering them are the biggest reasons for the refrigerator to smell bad. These factors also negatively affect the performance of your refrigerator.

Placement is important!

Clean your refrigerator frequently and regularly. You can wash the removable parts by hand or in the dishwasher with carbonated or vinegar water.

Arrange the food according to the tasks of the sections in the refrigerator. Use freezer bags or lidded storage containers. For example, cheese is one of the foods that make the fridge smell if it is stored without a lid. Rotten vegetables or fruits in the crisper can also cause a refrigerator smell. Check these often.
