Does your fridge have that stale smell or taste? I’ve been using Arm & Hammer Fridge-n-Freezer baking soda for a while, and here’s how it works.
These are the Fridge-n-Freezer boxes by Arm & Hammer (the baking soda, not the actor). Each one is about the size of an individual cereal box, filled with baking soda, with peel-off panels that let air in without letting the soda out. I just picked up a new set, so here’s a quick look. The button goes to the Fridge-n-Freezer boxes on Amazon.
- Simple: peel the panels and set it on a shelf
- Fabric vents keep the baking soda from spilling
- Helps with stale smells and moisture
- Works in other enclosed spaces too
- You have to remember to replace it
- It’s a slow, passive fix, not an instant one

How the box works
It’s just a box filled with baking soda. You peel off the two sides where it says remove panel, and underneath there’s a little piece of fabric. That lets the baking soda get exposure to the air without letting it spill out. You can see it and feel it through there.
Then you just put it in your freezer or fridge, and it keeps things fresher, kind of like silica packs for your fridge.
Another use: cars in storage
One thing I was thinking about doing is putting one in my Prowler, a car that just sits most of the time. That way, any moisture in there gets soaked up and it keeps the car smelling and feeling fresh.
Bottom line
If your fridge or freezer has that old, stale smell, a Fridge-n-Freezer box is about the easiest fix there is. Peel, place, and swap in a fresh one when it’s time.
