This is an easy fix. Only buy the baking kind. I used baking soda (baking kind) in the frig and freezer long before they sold a special box for that use. So buy the baking only and use it for baking and the fridge. I open the spout area of the box carefully, leaving the flap, then in a month, I hold the flap shake the box and put it back in the frig. Then I use it in the wash.

actually I don't believe the whole "Deodorizes your fridge and freezer" racket - baking soda does not work that way. Now if you make a paste with water and smear it on something, it will clean off odors (like plastic containers). Also I like it for a mild scouring powder.
Just another racket to sell more baking soda IMO. Like unflavored gelatin was supposed to be good for your houseplants and your fingernails. People are doing less baking and they are certainly using less unflavored gelatin, so the companies come up with "NEW" uses.

Baking soda and white vinegar are my go to products for cleaning. Baking soda and white vinegar mixed together in a paste is great for cleaning sinks, tubs etc in place of scouring cleanser. Baking soda in wash freshens wash and you can use white vinegar instead of fabric softener. The clothes don't come out smelling like vinegar. I use white vinegar to remove mildew and mold from the stucco on the outside of my house instead of bleach. The list could go on and on...

Never heard of it! Hard to believe it is different from the baking kind. I can tell you something baking soda really helps and that is to put a little in your towel load each time you wash them and it takes out the "smell" that towels can get even after washing them carefully. I put it in the pre-wash section.
