The synthetic smell from the refrigerator is a fairly common “irritant” to the sense of smell.
It is typical for new devices that have not been used.
To ensure that the purchase does not cause negative feelings, you need to wash all parts of the refrigerator using detergent, vinegar or plain water.
How to eliminate food odor
Remove remaining dirt with a non-aggressive agent, for example, soap solution or dishwashing gel.
For disinfection, you can use ammonia or a non-concentrated solution of baking soda.
Washing the refrigerator with vinegar in relation to gum is prohibited, as it and other acids damage the material.
You can destroy unpleasant odors and clean your refrigerator using activated carbon.
To do this you need to crush 10 tablets.
After this, you need to pour the powder into any container or gauze bag and put it in the refrigerator.
Activated carbon perfectly absorbs foreign odors.
Baking soda is an effective natural cleaner and an excellent odor absorber.
Rinse the refrigerator with a baking soda solution, then pour some baking soda into a plate and leave it open on the shelves.
Such plates need to be changed every 3 months. Ammonia eliminates any odors.
How to get rid of odors in your refrigerator and freezer
Baking soda solution – 1 tablespoon of baking soda per liter of water.
Wipe the refrigerator with a sponge, wetting it periodically in this solution.
Vinegar solution – 1 tablespoon of vinegar per liter of water.
