Ionizers
The refrigerator compartment is a closed space in which various odors accumulate to a greater or lesser extent. An air ionizer will help solve the problem.
Keeping it in the refrigerator will allow you to:
- purify the air;
- prevent mold;
- humidify the air;
- neutralize allergens;
- increase the freshness of products by eliminating pathogenic microorganisms, etc.
Ionizers can be of various types and appearances. All of them are compact in size, cost-effective and easy to use.
But such a device also has disadvantages:
- with low humidity in the refrigerator compartment, the likelihood of static discharge increases;
- if the refrigerator door is often opened, the kitchen air may become oversaturated with ions and, as a result, the likelihood of respiratory diseases will increase;
- cannot be used in rooms where cancer patients live.
There may even be individual intolerance to ionizers.
Tips for choosing
The following recommendations will help you make the right choice:
The container containing the refrigerator cleaner should be labeled as odor neutralizing.- In some cases, it is more convenient to use absorbers that are installed inside the refrigerator rather than liquid cleaning preparations. This is a convenient option if you have a passion for cooking aromatic dishes or in cases where power outages occur frequently.
- If the task is only to eliminate odor, then odor absorbers can be used. But if complete care is required, you will need a product that is applied to the surface and requires the use of a sponge.
- If the refrigerator remains with food for a long time, for example, when apartment residents frequently travel on business, a portable air ionizer may be a good option.
- Many detergents are scented. Usually information about this is on the label on the front side. This allows you to choose the scent you like.
