Even without baking soda, crumpled newspaper can effectively neutralize unwanted odors in your home.
According to the home-focused blog Re-Nest:
Old newspapers can be surprisingly useful! Crumpled newsprint acts as a powerful odor absorber, and after use, it can still be recycled or repurposed for cleaning windows: Combine newspaper with a vinegar spray for a streak-free shine.
This method works for almost any enclosed area, not just drawers. For instance, if your refrigerator develops an unpleasant odor, simply crumple newspapers, lightly dampen them, and place them inside to freshen it up. Reader Mipakr also confirms its effectiveness for removing shoe odors. Visit the link for more innovative household deodorizing tips from Re-Nest.
