For a fresh smelling fridge, keep a box of baking soda or dried coffee grounds or a cotton ball soaked in vanilla extract inside of it.

Crumbled newspapers lining the vegetable compartments of a refrigerator will keep veggies crisp.

Freezers run more efficiently when they are three-quarters or more full.

Wiping the inside of the fridge with vinegar helps prevent mildew because acid kills mildew fungus.

Never use disinfectants to clean the fridge, foods will pick up taste and odor.
