Place an opened box of baking soda behind the toilet to absorb odors.

Deodorize Kitchenware
Deodorize dishes, pans, cutting boards or utensils of pungent odors by adding ¼ cup of lemon juice to your dishwasher.

Fish or other Spoiled Food Odor

Freshen a Garbage Disposal
Sprinkle baking soda in your garbage disposal unit along with a few drops dishwashing liquid. Scrub with a brush (a new toilet brush works great), getting under the rubber gasket and all around inside. Then, turn on water and let the disposal run to flush thoroughly. For a fresh citrus scent, throw in a few cut up lemons or limes and run them through, too, using lots of water.

Microwave Odors
Keep a cup of baking soda in the microwave between uses to keep potatoes from smelling like bacon or other unusual combinations.

Odor-free Car

Smelly Shoes
Simply fill a tube sock with kitty litter, baking soda, or tea leaves and then tie the ends closed. Place the filled socks in the shoes when you're not wearing them. These sachets can be used over and over in any kind of shoe.

Mothball Odors
This odor is a hard one to get rid of. Your first step is ventilation - air out larger items outside for a day or two; for clothes, fluff in the dryer with fabric softener sheets for a couple of hours. If an entire room or closet is affected, Place trays of activated charcoal (available in pet supply stores) in the corners of the rooms to absorb the smell.

Fresh Smelling Fridge
For a fresh smelling fridge, keep a box of baking soda, a can filled with charcoal, dried coffee grounds or a cotton ball soaked in vanilla extract inside of it.

Kitten Litter
To keep cat litter fresh smelling, mix baby powder in with the litter.
