Salt for a Fresher Fridge

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup of table salt (coarse salt works best)
• A small, shallow dish or bowl

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Salt: Pour the salt into a small dish or bowl, spreading it out evenly.
2. Place in the Fridge: Put the dish of salt in your fridge, ideally on a middle shelf or wherever odors tend to be strongest.
3. Let It Work: Leave the salt in your fridge for a week or two. The salt will absorb any unwanted odors, keeping your fridge smelling fresh. It also helps to reduce excess moisture, which can prolong the freshness of your food.
4. Refresh as Needed: After a couple of weeks, or if the salt starts to clump, replace it with fresh salt.

Why This Works:

Salt is a natural deodorizer and moisture absorber. By placing a small dish of salt in your fridge, it helps to neutralize any lingering odors and keeps the environment dry, which can prevent the growth of bacteria and mold.

Surprise: You’ll notice that your fridge smells fresher and cleaner without any strong chemical scents, just the natural power of salt at work!
