I Put a Roll of Toilet Paper in the Refrigerator — And I Did Not Expect Such a Result
We all have our quirky household hacks — from putting baking soda in the fridge to freshen it up, to using coffee grounds as a deodorizer. But recently, I came across a surprisingly odd trick: putting a roll of toilet paper in the refrigerator.
At first, it sounded absurd. Why would anyone want to do that? Toilet paper belongs in the bathroom — end of story, right?
But my curiosity got the best of me.
Why Try This Weird Trick?
I read that toilet paper could absorb moisture and odors, much like baking soda. Unlike open containers of powder, though, it’s less messy and doesn’t need to be replaced as often. The paper fibers are naturally porous, meaning they can trap and hold particles — including smell.
So, I decided to try it for myself. I took a fresh roll of plain, unscented toilet paper (nothing fancy) and popped it onto a small plate inside the fridge door.
What Happened Next Surprised Me
Within a few hours, I noticed something unexpected: the funky mix of smells — leftovers, onions, and something I couldn’t even identify — had noticeably faded. The air inside the fridge felt… fresher. Not artificially scented or covered up, but genuinely neutral.
By the next morning, the transformation was even more obvious. The roll had picked up a bit of moisture, which confirmed it was doing its job absorbing excess humidity. And the fridge just smelled clean.
How It Works
Toilet paper works in a similar way to charcoal or baking soda, though to a lesser extent. The fibers absorb not only odor molecules but also ambient moisture that can lead to mold or stale smells. If your fridge has questionable air quality, a roll of TP might just be the lazy solution you never knew you needed.
