I’ve long heard that keeping baking soda in your fridge eliminates odors, and I’ve pretty much always had a box open in the fridge — not exactly switching it out every 30 days, like you’re apparently supposed to, but just leaving it in there with the lid open.
And it’s seemed to have worked: My fridge has never been particularly stinky. Recently, though, I tossed my old box of baking soda and didn’t replace it. Things haven’t been particularly stinky since then, either, so I started to wonder if the baking soda had been doing anything all along.
I took to the internet. The results are not just inconclusive, but surprisingly divisive! Some people absolutely swear by using baking soda to eliminate odors — anecdotes abound of people using baking soda to freshen up not just fridges and freezers, but diaper pails, garbage cans, litter boxes, and more. Others fervently call the idea of using baking soda to absorb odors a myth.
Which side is right?
