A simple bowl of salt can help keep your refrigerator clean and fresh. Place about three tablespoons of salt in an open bowl and set it in a corner of the fridge, replacing it every few weeks. The salt absorbs excess moisture, helps prevent unpleasant odors, and reduces bacteria and mold growth. It can also keep food fresher by minimizing moisture buildup in containers and bags. To reduce frost, speed up defrosting, and improve cooling efficiency, sprinkle a little salt on icy freezer walls. For a deeper clean, mix salt with your cleaning water and add a bit of vinegar or lemon juice to enhance deodorizing and stain removal. While results may vary depending on your fridge’s condition, this easy trick can make a big difference in freshness and energy use.

“A what? Could you spell it please?”
“It’s spelled: V-o-l-c-h.”
“Mom, that’s short for ‘volume’ and ‘channel.’”
?!
