The seller from the meat pavilion explained how to wash the freezer to remove the spirit of mustyness

A freezer is one of the most useful things in the home. It allows you to make a strategic stock of products and store them with the preservation of all nutritional properties. Thanks to it, even in winter, berries, fruits and greens get on our table. But often all this spoils the smell in the freezer.



Smell in the freezer Causes of smell
  1. The food has expired.
  2. Power's gone. As a result, the contents of the camera thawed and deteriorated. By the way, earlier we wrote how to freeze meat for a month, so as not to waste time on shopping trips.
  3. No sealed packaging. I had this story with frozen greens in a simple knotted bag. As a result, the taste of dill was felt in ice cream, pancakes and even grated strawberries.


  4. Stock hole clogging.
  5. The smell can be inherited, for example, from past tenants of a rented apartment.


The easiest way to disconnect the refrigerator from the power source, defrost and wash the freezer with a specially prepared composition. To do this, dilute a teaspoon of any detergent in a liter of water. Then thoroughly washed with solution freezer and refrigeration compartments with all shelves. Wash the residues with warm water.



If after washing the camera continues to smell bad, folk methods will help. For example, treat it with a napkin dipped in a solution of vinegar. It will also help the indispensable queen of purity - soda. Rub all the walls and shelves with it. Then pour some powder into an open container and leave it inside the freezer for a while.

Ammonia helps from the smell in the freezer. Dilute it in equal proportions with water and wipe the inner surfaces. In addition to the smell, you will destroy all germs and completely disinfect the device.

When it is not possible to turn off the freezer for cleaning, natural adsorbents will come to the rescue. These products absorb all foreign smells, perfectly removing the heavy spirit. Mound in a bowl of coffee beans, large salt or crushed activated charcoal. Put the bowl in the freezer for a couple of days.



It is good to deal with new smells and black bread. Put half the loaf on the shelf, put it away in 12 hours or replace it with a new one.



Some housewives put on the shelves fragrant orange skins. Earlier we wrote about how to use them when cleaning an apartment.



If all of the above fails, try industrial smell absorbers. On sale there are options of different forms and with different filling. In ball models (pictured), smells are absorbed by a bag of silica gel nestled in a plastic case. One such device can be used from three to six months.
