The refrigerator is a common appliance in every household and is fondly referred to as the “great invention of humanity” by homemakers. With a refrigerator, homemakers have been able to save a lot of time and effort in grocery shopping and food preservation.
However, due to the need to store a wide variety of food items, refrigerators can easily develop unpleasant odors. If not addressed, these odors can affect the quality of the food and pose a risk to health.
Toilet paper has an excellent ability to absorb refrigerator odors.
Therefore, in addition to regular cleaning to eliminate unpleasant odors, you should know this great trick – simply place 1-2 rolls of toilet paper inside the refrigerator.
This is a great tip that every woman should know for a fresh-smelling refrigerator. Place a roll of toilet paper in each compartment of the refrigerator, including the freezer, and leave it overnight. When you wake up the next morning, you will notice that the refrigerator no longer has any unpleasant odors. The toilet paper has absorbed all the odors.
You may wonder how this is possible. It’s quite simple – the structure of toilet paper allows it to absorb the odors in the refrigerator. To put it simply, the high humidity inside the refrigerator leads to unpleasant odors. By placing toilet paper inside, it will absorb the excess moisture and, consequently, the odors.
If you don’t want to use toilet paper, you can use old newspapers instead. Spray a little water on the newspapers and crumple them into small balls, then place them in the corners of the refrigerator. They will help absorb the unpleasant odors. Another option is to line the compartments with newspaper and replace it weekly to keep your refrigerator clean and fresh.
