It can be difficult to remove the smell of expired food or spilled milk from the refrigerator once it has set in, but social media users claim a surprising product can help: toilet paper.
According to a report in the New York Post, Social media users say toilet paper can help absorb the moisture in the refrigerator air, which can contribute to mold and bad odors.
While it may not be the most appetizing or attractive sight, placing a roll of toilet paper in the back of the refrigerator can help keep the smell fresh.
According to Procession, a lifestyle and home website, baking soda, which only needs to be replaced every three months compared to toilet paper’s three weeks, is more commonly used to neutralize odors; the cost-effective option works better at eliminating both excess moisture and acids that cause odors.
Several videos have been shared online showing that this hack is effective and people are using it in their daily lives.
However, Parade recommends using a fresh roll, placing it in the back of the refrigerator away from anything that could leak, and throwing the roll away after three weeks. “Do not attempt to reuse the roll in the bathroom,” the outlet warned.
