While placing toilet paper in the fridge was once considered an unusual remedy for neutralizing strong odors, TikTokers are now finding another practical use for it.
This so-called "hack" proves useful, especially when you position the toilet paper between items that tend to release moisture, like cheese and meat, in your fridge. If your food starts to go bad or excessive moisture builds up, your fridge may develop unpleasant odors.
To address this issue, TikTok content creators have been placing rolls of toilet paper in their fridges.
This method is believed to be effective because toilet paper has absorbent properties, which allow it to soak up excess moisture inside the fridge.
It is effective because of the toilet roll's absorbent properties, able to suck up any excess moisture lingering in the fridge, which helps prevents smells from developing even further.
One person said: I always put a few paper towels in my cooler once I'm done using them, never get any mold inside, ever.
A second wrote: Just use baking soda. Cheaper and lasts longer
A third suggested: I’ve seen people put rolls in their empty fridge after turning it off so it soaks up moisture and helps prevent mildew …. If you're moving or swapping over fridges.
However, is toilet roll really the only option?
However, you will be surprised to learn that putting paper in the fridge is not the only tip that helps prevent the development of unpleasant odors.
Baking soda is not only a more cost-efficient method but also saves money, as the price of a box of baking soda is cheaper than the price of a roll of toilet paper.
The answer is yes. If you don't have any baking soda, you can replace it with black cumin seed oil, activated charcoal, or vanilla extract.
All of these alternatives not only save money but also help make your fridge smell much better.
You're welcome.
