👵🏻 Granny Colette’s tip

My little ones, Grandma Colette still has a little surprise for you! Have you ever heard of the virtues of tea? But did you know that beyond warming our hearts, it can also cool our fridges? That’s right, simply place an open tea bag – green or black tea, depending on your preference – in a small corner of your fridge. The tea will absorb unwanted odors, leaving behind a subtle aromatic note. Change it every week for a fridge that exudes serenity and freshness. What a wonder, isn’t it?

Grandma Colette’s little almanac for a fridge that’s always fresh

If you only knew how a little routine can work miracles, especially when it comes to keeping our fridge fresh as a rose! Here are some rituals that I particularly like:

  • 🎶 Monthly cleaning with music: Put on your favorite song and give your fridge a nice bath. A sponge, a little warm water and baking soda or white vinegar, and you’re done!
  • ✅ Checking expiration dates: Grab a magnifying glass and play detective every Sunday. This way, no clever little guy will be able to hide and become an annoying smelly guest.
  • 🍯 The Baking Soda Keeper: A small open jar of baking soda, placed on a shelf, acts as a guardian angel against odor intrusions. A little stir in the pot every now and then, and he’ll always be ready for action.

By following these simple habits, you will see, your fridge will sing to the tunes of freshness, and you, my little ones, will dance with joy!
