Put a roll of toilet paper in the fridge. Here’s why

The surprising reason behind it

Refrigerators naturally trap humidity and odors from stored food. Over time, that can lead to a faint mixed smell or excess moisture inside the fridge, especially in older or heavily used units.

A dry, absorbent material like a roll of toilet paper can help reduce that moisture and subtly absorb odors in a small, enclosed space.

The idea is similar to using baking soda—but with a more accessible household item.
