1. Neutralize odors
Sometimes your refrigerator smells weird and bad, probably because of bad foods you haven’t paid attention to. If the smell refuses to go away even after you dumped the bad foods and cleaned the refrigerator, then dry some coffee grounds, place them in a bowl and put it in the back of your fridge. This way you will have a nice and refreshing coffee smell coming out of the fridge instead of the bad smell.

When it comes to lingering grease, a coffee pot can help you remove it easily.
4. Add extra flavor and caffeine to your meals
