We are accustomed to the fact that refrigerators are used to store only food, since this is the purpose for which the equipment is intended.

However, experienced housewives sometimes put very strange things in the refrigerator.

Sometimes it seems like they just put them there out of forgetfulness.

But this is far from true. In fact, there is a very reasonable explanation for such actions.

Why Store Toilet Paper and Sponge in the Refrigerator

Surely you have encountered the fact that condensation accumulates in the refrigerator after a certain period of time. High humidity is an excellent habitat for pathogenic flora.

As a result, the refrigerator begins to look unkempt and even causes an unpleasant odor.

Also, products can start to spoil much faster than their intended expiration date.

As it turns out, both toilet paper and the sponge are put in the refrigerator for one purpose only: to prevent this problem from occurring.

Therefore, you need to send a new sponge or roll of paper once a week. These items should be disposed of after the refrigerator. In order to enhance their effect, you can also pour a small amount of soda or a few tablets of activated carbon into the bowl.
