Clean Your Freezer with Vanilla to Cast Out Musty Smells in Your Ice Cubes

If your freezer's musty scent is infusing your frozen foods and ice cubes with the scent of old socks, home and living site Real Simple recommends a quick wipe down with vanilla extract to cure the problem. By dampening a cotton pad with a small amount of vanilla extract, the stale smell wafting out of your freezer will be banished away and in turn, your frozen foods and ice will taste a little better. It's a simple and quick fix to remove the funk that seems to plague even the cleanest of freezers. Banish that Must Freezer Smell | Real Simple
