We've all been there. You open the fridge and some odor hits you before you even spot the culprit. You clean the shelves, ditch the leftovers, wipe everything down, and somehow the smell still lingers. The usual fix is a box of baking soda shoved in the back, but while it does the job, it's not exactly leaving your fridge smelling great.
There is, in fact, a better option — and it's probably sitting in your bin right now. Used tea bags work as surprisingly effective natural deodorizers, thanks to the tannins in tea leaves that trap odor-causing bacteria and moisture while releasing a light, fresh scent at the same time. Two birds, one tea bag.
