Toilet paper not in the fridge: discover what this trick is for

RFM9 September 2026 at 10:30

Placing a roll of toilet paper in the fridge is a household trick that can help improve the internal environment of the appliance. Toilet paper has the ability to absorb accumulated moisture inside the fridge, which can be particularly useful in more humid seasons or when there are temperature variations.

In addition to moisture absorption, this simple method also contributes to reducing some odors that may form in the fridge over time. By absorbing excess moisture, toilet paper limits the favorable conditions for the development of bacteria and fungi responsible for unpleasant smells.

To use this trick, simply place an open roll of toilet paper inside the fridge, preferably on a shelf. The paper should be replaced periodically to guarantee its effectiveness, with it being recommended to change it when it is damp or after a few weeks of use.

This trick represents an economical and accessible solution to keep the fridge fresher and with fewer odors, without the need to resort to chemical products or specific electrical devices for this purpose.
