Deodorize your freezer naturally

Broomhuggers offers up a great tip to deodorize your freezer naturally; put some pure vanilla extract on a cotton pad and wipe down the walls and base of the freezer. For the fridge, try a wipe with white vinegar or an open container of baking soda. Easy peasy.

Lots more natural tips on Broomhuggers, which is the blog of a natural home cleaning service in North East Atlanta (what a great green business idea!).

If it's clean, a freezer (or refrigerator) never needs to be deoderized.

Never knew, but won't that make it sticky?

Apparently, there is some debate about whether baking soda actually works:

Or other methods like used coffee grounds:

Wonder what properties vanilla extract might have that de-odorizes surfaces, or if it's just another re-odorizer--just a good cover-up.
