8 Surprising Household Deodorizers

Deodorize Your Freezer

Problem: Odor on Ice
Those UFOs (unidentified frozen objects) in the freezer make your piecrust smell like a substance from another planet.
Solution: Wipe the freezer with a cotton pad dampened with pure vanilla extract. Refrigerator shelves will benefit from a wipe-down with a 50-50 mix of white vinegar and water.

we have an automatic ice maker, and we use ice all the time, but its so hard to use the ice on the bottom of the bin.  We turned the maker off and tried to use up all the ice, but towards the bottom it definitely had a smell of funk.  The freezer burnt smell got into my hands and everything.

But… I think that vanilla extract would leave a weird brown frozen stain everywhere?
