What’s silly is how practical this really is. Normally when your fridge stinks you go out and buy one of those crazy little deodorizer things, right? Usually, it’s either one that clips to a shelf or one of those crazy charcoal pucks. But really, a roll of toilet paper is doing a lot of the same work. No chemicals. No plastic. No cost other than what you are already spending at the store to have some in the house—which, unless something terrible has happened, you do (hopefully).
And you don’t have to change it every couple of days. It will last for a little while before it becomes saturated or just… strange. When it has become wet or begins to acquire its own “fridge smell,” toss it and replace it with a new one. Nice and simple.
Want to amp it up? Add baking soda.
If you want to take it up a notch—and your fridge is disgusting and needs something stronger—you can pair the toilet paper with a box of baking soda. That good old classic. The two kind of share the load: soda absorbs odors chemically, TP absorbs moisture physically. Together, they can help eliminate the stink of your fridge altogether.
Another slightly more chaotic option, is to paste baking soda directly onto the toilet paper. Yes, it’ll be messy. However, if you are dealing with like a level-10 stench you could certainly try it. Just mix a few teaspoons of water with the baking soda until it’s a thick goop. Then smear it onto the roll – it doesn’t have to be perfectly smeared on and it will still work!
Weird hack, but… kinda genius
