This element has gained prominence for the benefits it provides and even more so when it comes to placing it in the refrigerator. According to the portal 'El Mueble' one of the recommendations is to make sure that it is a new roll, taken from a package that has just been opened , which guarantees that it has not lost its absorption capacity.
- The first thing you will do is place the toilet paper in a strategic place, away from liquids or food that could wet it.
- Change it periodically, most often once or twice a week depending on the amount of moisture and odors present.
