Oats help to keep fridges smelling fresh all the time. To achieve this, simply place the oats in an open bowl and keep them in the refrigerator overnight.
Salt
Apart from making foods taste great, saltwater or saline helps to remove stains from materials. They can be used to clean carpets or remove blood stains from clothes.
