Refrigerator Odor Absorber Staples CH0236 – charcoal-based refrigerator deodorizer

Staples CH0236 is a charcoal-based refrigerator deodorizer designed to reduce unpleasant smells in domestic refrigerators and small cold cabinets. The product uses activated charcoal to absorb and neutralize odours rather than masking them with fragrance. Its compact form factor allows placement on a shelf, inside a compartment, or near food items to maintain a fresher-smelling storage environment without direct contact with food.

Advantages

The charcoal formulation provides continuous passive absorption of common household food odours such as fish, onion, cheese, and leftovers without emitting additional scents. The deodorizer operates silently, requires no power source or batteries, and does not introduce moisture or chemicals into the refrigerator interior. Its neutral design and small footprint make it easy to position in different areas of the fridge.

Suitable for

• Home kitchen refrigerators
• Small commercial cold cabinets and prep fridges
• Compartments and vegetable/crisper drawers
• Temporary use in dormitory or office mini-fridges

How to use

Place the deodorizer on a stable shelf surface or inside a compartment where it will have direct exposure to circulating air within the refrigerator.
