A refrigerator is not only a place to store food and drinks, but also a versatile appliance that can be used for many other purposes.
It's worth remembering 8 unusual ways to use a refrigerator.
Storage of cosmetics and medicines
The refrigerator can be a great place to store cosmetics and medications, especially during the hot summer months. Chilled creams and lotions can reduce puffiness and soothe the skin, and storing medications in the refrigerator can extend their shelf life.
Cooling pillows and blankets
In the summer, many people have trouble sleeping because of the heat. A refrigerator can help solve this problem by cooling down pillows and blankets before bed.
Small pillows and even mattresses can be placed in the refrigerator for a few minutes to cool down and provide a more comfortable sleep.
Increasing the shelf life of flowers
The shelf life of flowers can be increased by keeping them in a cool place. Flowers such as roses are best kept in the refrigerator in water to prevent them from wilting quickly.
Storage of varnishes and paints
It is best to store varnishes and paints in the refrigerator to prevent them from becoming hard and spoiling. This is especially important in warm climates, where paints can quickly lose their properties due to high temperatures.
Cooling of electronics
If your electronics get too hot, you can place them in the refrigerator for a few minutes to cool them down. But be sure to turn off all electronic devices before placing them in the refrigerator.
Freezing soft toys
Bacteria and various contaminants can accumulate on children's soft toys. Many people know that high temperatures can kill germs. But can't low temperatures be used for these purposes? If you put the toys in the freezer for a few hours, most of the germs will die.
Reducing shoe odors
If your shoes have an unpleasant odor, you can put them in a bag and put them in the refrigerator overnight. The cold air will help reduce odors and kill bacteria. Of course, the shoes should be sealed in a bag beforehand.
Making Cold Compresses
A cold compress can help with sprains, bruises, and other injuries. You can create a cold compress by placing a wet cloth or towel in a plastic bag and placing it in the freezer for a few minutes.
