Move over baking soda, oatmeal can do the job too. If you’re out of baking soda or want to try something different, place a small bowl of dry oatmeal on one of your refrigerator’s shelves. This will neutralize odors from produce, cheese, meat, and whatever else is in your fridge. The absorbent oats will rid smells overnight then you can repurpose them to clean your pots and pans!
