Experts say that placing salt in the refrigerator is a simple but effective method to eliminate unpleasant odors and excess moisture.
Medianews.az reports that chemically, salt attracts water molecules from the air, slows down the proliferation of microbes, and thereby reduces odors.
Foreign journalist Eva Yagalskaya notes that salt also adsorbs certain odor molecules and makes it difficult for microorganisms to grow. According to her experience, placing salt in a small container and changing it every 2–3 weeks is sufficient.
Experts warn that salt is not an alternative to cleaning the refrigerator, just additional support. To prevent odors, it is important not to store products in open containers and to regularly wipe the refrigerator.
