I’m a cleaning queen – how to stop your fridge stinking using a 55p household staple | The Sun
THERE'S nothing worse than opening your fridge to be confronted with a nasty pong.
But one cleaning queen has come up with a genius, cheap way of getting rid of fridge odours – and all you need is some bicarbonate of soda.
Katie Lolas, who posts under Lady Lolas on her social media pages, explained that she pops a small bowl of bicarb in the fridge to absorb any smells.
"If your fridge has ever smelled a little funky – even after you've cleaned it out – and you haven't been able to get rid of the smell, I have just the solution," she said.

"It will absorb all of those smells and it's super easy."

Following Katie sharing her tip, she was quickly praised by people in the comments section, with one writing: "I can't believe I've never thought of this.
