Today is trash day so I just took everything out of the fridge and it went immediately to the curb.
I was so scared to open this mini fridge because I had cut watermelon in it that leaked juice everywhere. It smelled so bad, that's what all the black stuff on the bottom of the fridge is. There was also a lot of ice build up in the back of the fridge too. This mini fridge gets so cold, the back always freezes even on the lowest setting :(
It still smelled a little bit after I finished cleaning but I'm hoping it gets better.
I wiped everything out with odoban wipes and put two packs of baking soda in there. I'm hoping it'll get the smell out if I let it run with the fridge empty until we move back in.
I know there’s a difference between baking powder and baking soda I just don’t know what that difference is and I’m not willing to risk my banana bread’s life hoping it’ll be all right if I don’t use the right one!
Whatever you do, never mix cleaning products, they can easily create gases which can easily kill you if you do so
A common example is mixing ammonia (including non cleaning products like urine) and bleach. It will create chloramine gas, which at the very least it can burn up your lungs pretty badly.
“Tata Chemicals Europe today opened the UK’s first industrial scale carbon capture and usage plant today, signaling a key milestone in the race to meet the UK’s, and the world’s, net zero targets.
The plant captures 40,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide each year—the equivalent to taking over 20,000 cars off the roads, and ten-times more than what GNN reported to be the world’s largest carbon capture factory just 10 months [earlier, in late 2021].
The $24 million (£20 million) investment has been completed by UK-based Tata Chemicals Europe, one of Europe’s leading producers of sodium carbonate, salt and baking soda, and they expect it to lower their carbon emissions by more than 10%.
The project will help unlock the future of carbon capture as it demonstrates the viability of the technology to remove carbon dioxide from power plant emissions and to use it in high end manufacturing applications.
The party trick is that in a world first, carbon dioxide captured from energy generation emissions is being purified to food and pharmaceutical grade and used as a raw material in the manufacture of sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) which will be known as Ecokarb®. This unique and innovative process is patented in the UK with further patents pending in key territories around the world.
Ecokarb® will be exported to over 60 countries around the world. Much of the sodium bicarbonate exported will be used in hemodialysis to treat people living with kidney disease.
It will also be used to essential items like glass, washing detergents, pharmaceutical products, food, animal feed and in water purification.
The carbon capture plant, which was supported with a £4.2m grant through the UK Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy’s (“BEIS”) Energy Innovation Program, marks a major step towards sustainable manufacturing which will see Tata make net zero sodium bicarbonate and one of the lowest carbon footprint sodium carbonate products in the world.” -via Good News Network, 7/8/22
