Why Store Toilet Paper in the Fridge: An Unusual Solution You’ll Want to Try

An unpleasant odor is an eternal problem that cannot be avoided whether it is in the case of a half-empty refrigerator or, on the contrary, a refrigerator full of food.

To eliminate extraneous odors, you can purchase special absorbent devices – they are sold both in markets and in supermarkets. You can also look for inspiration in folk recipes: put lemon on the shelves, potato wedges or put a glass of baking soda at the bottom of the fridge.

You’ve probably used one of these ways to get rid of an unpleasant odor at least once, and it worked just fine for you. Nevertheless, we recommend that you try to put a roll of toilet paper on one of the shelves – the most common, not multi-layered and not flavored.

Cellulose helps to absorb excess moisture from the air, so condensation on the back wall of the refrigerator will not accumulate so actively. Thanks to this life hack, the shelf life of food in the refrigerator increases – especially when it comes to vegetables and fruits, which begin to deteriorate quickly due to the humidity on the surface.

A roll of toilet paper can absorb up to 450-500ml of moisture, which is a pretty decent volume compared to the amount of condensation in the fridge. Thus, one roll as a moisture and odor absorber is sufficient for at least several months. The main thing is to find an inconspicuous place under it 🙂
