@jennyjoy it has to be activated charcoal to have more surface or sides to absorb odor. Ordinary charcoal is not as effective

I remember my grandma used to use charcoal or pandan leaves or some might know it as screwpine to absorb the various funny odours from the fridge. And yes indeed baking soda can replace many harsh and toxic household cleaners

Rebel, use open up the top of the box and let it sit there for at least a month than you change for a new one and do the same.
