Refrigerators are now an indispensable household appliance in every family. Normally, we put some vegetables and fruits in the refrigerator to keep the food fresh. This device is also used to cool drinks, make ice cream or preserve food such as meat, fish...
But after a long time of use, many people realize that the cooling efficiency of this device begins to decrease, causing a lot of electricity consumption. If not handled promptly, the life of the refrigerator may be affected. However, you can completely solve this by placing a roll of toilet paper in the cabinet.

1. Save electricity
After a period of use, family refrigerators often have frost. This not only reduces the usable space of the refrigerator but also increases the burden on the compressor. Placing a roll of paper inside can quickly handle this situation.
Because the refrigerator has no humidity but contains a lot of water vapor. Water vapor will quickly condense when exposed to low temperatures.
Toilet paper is very dry and can absorb moisture in the refrigerator to prevent the refrigerator from freezing. Therefore, simply placing a roll of toilet paper in the refrigerator can minimize this problem.
2. Deodorize the refrigerator
Many foods stored in the refrigerator for a long time can be damaged and spoiled, leaving an unpleasant smell. At this time, toilet paper rolls are effective in absorbing refrigerator odors. You just need to put it in the refrigerator overnight, and the next day you will see that the refrigerator is no longer smelly.
You can reuse this roll of paper by taking it out of the cupboard, leaving it out in the sun for a while, waiting for it to dry again, and then putting it back in the cupboard.
Some other tips to help save electricity when using the refrigerator
- Put food in the refrigerator after it has cooled completely: Many people are used to putting leftover food directly into the refrigerator, even though the food is still warm. Heat is generated in the refrigerator, causing the refrigerator to use a lot of electricity to cool it.
- Use plastic wrap: Before putting leftover food in the refrigerator, you should wrap it with plastic wrap to ensure that the food is not contaminated by bacteria in the refrigerator, and at the same time make the refrigerator safer and more hygienic.
- Do not fill the refrigerator: Putting too many things in the refrigerator is not good for cold air circulation, causing electricity waste.
- Clean the refrigerator regularly: In addition to removing the ice layer in the refrigerator, you need to pay attention to black mold on the refrigerator gasket, because this mold releases some toxic substances that can stick to food. You need to clean and wipe the refrigerator regularly to avoid this situation and ensure the health of your family.
