Putting a roll of toilet paper in the fridge may seem strange, but it’s one of those old tricks that really works.

Here’s why this strange custom has a practical explanation and why some people find it useful:

 Immediate refreshing effect

In very hot countries (or in the summer), toilet paper stored in the refrigerator can provide a   refreshing and soothing  feeling when used, especially on hot days.

 Against moisture and bad odors

If you live in a humid environment, it can help prevent mold  or the typical musty smell that toilet paper sometimes absorbs when stored for long periods in poorly ventilated closets or bathrooms.

 Extra softness?

Some claim that the cold makes the paper   slightly softer and “fluffier”,  although this is more of a subjective perception than an actual change in the paper’s texture.

 But be careful:

• Energy consumption:   Filling the refrigerator with items other than food reduces the refrigerator’s efficiency and causes it to consume more energy.

• Hygiene:   The refrigerator can emit odors to the paper, especially if it is not properly closed.

• Space:   Takes space away from foods that actually need to be refrigerated.
