It is a fantastic plant that has been used for centuries not only in cooking, but also for many other purposes.

Laurel, a magnificent plant!

Why use it in the fridge?
But why should you use this plant in the fridge? For a very simple reason: the bay plant is capable of scenting the entire interior of the appliance. Have you noticed that sometimes when you open the refrigerator door you notice bad smells or very strong smells? There are some foods that, more than others, give off a very intense smell, which is not necessarily linked to the correct state of conservation. Think of cheese, for example. To solve the problem, you can use bay leaves. It will be enough to spread a few sheets on the different shelves of the appliance and leave them for several days. It could also be combined with the action of baking soda, which is also very useful against bad odors, thanks to its absorbent action.
Other Methods You Can Try
There are also other alternative methods of using this plant. For example, you can prepare a useful infusion to perfume the house and surfaces: in this case it will be enough to boil a few leaves in a saucepan and then introduce them in each room of the house. Did you know then that it is possible to break leaves of this magical plant directly in the vacuum cleaner bag, to perfume the whole house once the appliance has been used? Seeing is believing! You could also think about making bags filled with bay leaves and placing them in drawers and cupboards. This way, you will scare away unwanted insects and you will be able to perfume the entire area: your clothes, whatever they are, will be scented to the fullest!
