Cambodia Focuses on Household Comfort: Refrigerator Deodorization Techniques Gain Attention

Amidst efforts to enhance household comfort in Cambodia, measures against unpleasant refrigerator odors are drawing significant attention. According to reports from Koh Santepheap Khmer, the primary causes of refrigerator odors are identified as spoiled food, improperly sealed food items, and a lack of regular cleaning. To combat these odors, various readily available household items are being promoted as effective solutions. These include baking soda, lemon, dried coffee grounds, activated charcoal or regular charcoal, dried tea leaves, and citrus peels from oranges or tangerines. These materials are expected to absorb odors and keep the refrigerator smelling fresh. Experts suggest that using these natural ingredients can provide a safe and effective way to manage odors. Furthermore, experts emphasize the importance of regular refrigerator cleaning. They advise that cleaning every 2–4 weeks, storing food in airtight containers, promptly discarding spoiled food, and avoiding over-packing the refrigerator are essential for preventing odors and maintaining food quality. This topic suggests a growing awareness among Cambodian citizens regarding hygiene in their daily lives and the pursuit of more comfortable living environments. Interest in such household hygiene management is likely to continue, also from the perspectives of reducing food waste and maintaining health.
