tip#) Deodorizing Upholstered Furniture & Cleaning Refrigerator Door Seals

Deodorizing Upholstered Furniture

Fabric furniture absorbs odors gradually from daily use, pets, food, and moisture. To refresh upholstered sofas, chairs, or cushions, lightly sprinkle baking soda evenly across the surface. Let it sit for 30 to 60 minutes so it can absorb trapped odors without soaking the fabric. Afterward, vacuum thoroughly to remove all residue. This method is safe, effective, and helps keep furniture smelling clean between deep cleanings without using harsh chemicals or excess moisture.

Cleaning Refrigerator Door Seals

Refrigerator door seals trap crumbs, moisture, and bacteria inside the rubber grooves, which can cause odors and affect cooling efficiency. Use a soft toothbrush dipped in warm water mixed with mild dish soap to gently scrub along the seal grooves. Wipe clean with a dry cloth to remove moisture. Regularly cleaning door seals helps maintain proper temperature, prevents odor buildup, and extends the life of the refrigerator.
