Besides using bleach, does anyone has tips to revert/ prevent white business shirt to turning into off-white colour? It is not the collar etc but the entire shirt is no longer as white as when they were bought

does anyone know how to remove fridge odours ?

I understand that activated charcoal can do the job, but where can I get it ? I believe the normal charcoal sold in NTUC or provision shop is not the activated type.

Hi Cimman,


You might wanna try to buy some charcoal tablets from pharmacy (which meant for diarrhoea.Btw, I am not sure if it is available as over counter typed of medicine). Just pop them out from the blister pack (10's per pack) and put them in a small container and put the container in the fridge.

How many charcoal tablets to put in the fridge? That's depends on how 'smelly' the fridge is . Hope this help.

You can wrap a piece of charcoal (those used for bbq) in a piece of paper and put it right at the back of your fridge. The smell will filter through the paper and the charcoal will absorb it.

Freshly squeeze lemon juice on an open bowl is a wonder for odour removal of fridge. I tried before.

Hi cimman,


I usually used Baking Soda. Cold storage sells this in a box. It’s orange in colour with a picture of an arm carrying an axe if i’m not mistaken. Plus you just need to open the sides.
