This is why you should put a tea bag in your fridge

Tea bag

Before you apply this trick, make sure you remove the culprit of the nasty smell from your fridge or transfer it to an airtight container. Ready? Take a used tea bag and leave it to dry properly. Place it on a saucer and then place this saucer in a central spot in your fridge. If you have a particularly large fridge, you can use multiple tea bags. You’ll notice that the smell will get absorbed by the tea bag pretty quickly. Don’t drink tea? You can also use a small bowl of coffee grounds or baking soda instead.

Smells

Now we know that tea bags have the ability to mask nasty smells, why not try it on different areas of your home as well? You can put a used tea bag in your cat’s litter box or at the bottom of your trash can and it will work wonders there as well. Bonus tip: Tea can also protect your houseplants from harmful fungi or moulds. Boil some water and add the used tea bag to this. You’ll be making a kind of weak tea. Let this tea water cool down completely and then use it to water your indoor plants.
