4 Reasons to Put Paper Towels In Your Refrigerator

This simple kitchen hack only needs ONE roll of paper towels to get the job done, but it will provide many positive results.

1. Heat Relief

Many people already use paper towels to wipe off sweat on a hot summer day, but just think about what a difference a chilled paper towel from the fridge would make to help cool you down!

2. Soothing Sunburns

When you accidentally forgot to put on sunblock and don't aloe vera in the house, just grab some of those paper towels from the fridge to ease the burning heat.

3. Extending the Freshness of Produce

Placing a sheet of paper towels in a container or drawer with produce will help absorb moisture that will cause your food to spoil quicker.

4. Absorb Odors 

Paper towels are great at absorbing some of the worst fridge odors like garlic or onions. Plus, they won't make a mess like when you accidentally knock over the carton of baking soda you have in your fridge for the same purpose.
