How to Do It

In my fridge, I keep half a lemon at the top and another at the bottom.

It eliminates bad smells, sparing me from pinching my nose every time I open the door.

Place each half in a small cup to prevent mess and minimize cleaning.

Replace them once they dry out and lose effectiveness.
