"Hey hi, I'm Tim Gipson. I'm going to talk to you about how to remove odors from your refrigerator. Now, if you have a typical household refrigerator I'm sure you keep a lot of leftovers like most folks, as you can see here. Now, the most important thing to to keep odors out of your refrigerator is to make sure that we take everything out, and that we want to clean it every few months. So, if you notice some odors the best way to get rid of those; make sure that, it's usually from keeping your leftovers a little bit too long. Everybody calls them science experiments. We all have those every once in a while. So, most of the refrigerators today are very easy to clean and very modular, as far as the drawers sliding out, and typically you can clean; if you just do a surface clean, and you're still sayin' I still got some odors your big trouble spot is underneath your drawers. If you remove these most of these drawers have these glass shelves that are underneath the drawers. So, you want to pull those out and make sure that the glass drawers are, the glass shelves underneath your drawers are clean too. That can be a source for odors. Typically to use for; a good thing to use is to use a wipe product such as this. It has the Clorox, or has a bleach disinfecting solution in it. You can get these, or to use something that like a Pinesol, or something like that as a cleaning solution. Something that does not leave a lot of residue, but all, but does good to eliminate any bacteria that might be in here. Now, here's a, here's a tip. You can buy; baking soda is one of the most common things you can use to eliminate odor. It it actually absorbs odor and helps to eliminate them. So, something you can do; you can actually buy baking soda that is made so that you just rip off a couple pounds, and you can put it in there. Now, if you want to do it a little more inexpensively you can get a large volume bag of baking soda like this. You take a cup, and what you want to do is you want to fill the cup up with baking soda. Go ahead and put a good amount; at least a cup in there. Then, you can take a coffee filter, and you can place the coffee filter over the top of the cup and secure it with a rubber band. And this just helps if you happen to knock it over that it doesn't go all over the inside of your refrigerator. And now, you have a nice filter. The air will actually pass through the coffee filter, will actually circulate through the baking soda, and now, you can just place that in there and actually help to eliminate. And so you could actually buy your baking soda in bulk and save a lot of money, cause' that's something that you would probably want to change out every couple of months; keep that baking soda changed out, and it will keep your refrigerator smelling fresh. So, I'm Tim Gipson, and that's how to remove odors from your refrigerator."
