Use Baking Soda to Deodorize Anything

The Problem

Fridge smells, shoes stink, trash can odor even after emptying.

The Hack

Fridge: open box on shelf. Shoes: sprinkle overnight. Trash: sprinkle before bag. Carpet: sprinkle, vacuum.

Why It Works

Baking soda neutralizes both acids and bases — the molecules that cause most odors.

Pro Tips

• Fridge: replace monthly
• Shoes: shake out in the morning
• Trash cans: sprinkle bottom before bag
• Carpets: 15 min then vacuum
