Why to put foil in the freezer: an interesting lifehack

Freezing ice in the freezer compartment can be a significant problem. It increases the energy consumption of the appliance and reduces its efficiency. But it is possible to combat this problem without frequent defrosting.

According to Sante Plus, the problem of ice freezing can be solved with the help of ordinary food foil. It will simplify the task of removing excessive frost. But you still have to start with a complete defrosting of the refrigerator.

Why you need foil in the freezer

After you defrost and wash the unit, line the empty freezer with aluminum foil inside on all sides and on all shelves and drawers. And only then return the food to its proper place.

This way you will save a lot of time cleaning your refrigerator. You will just need to replace the aluminum sheets with new ones from time to time. This way, removing excess ice will be a quick and easy task and will not require much effort.

The trick with a sponge in the vegetable drawer

Another useful refrigerator flyhack is the sponge trick in the vegetable drawer. Usually fruits and vegetables spoil quite quickly due to high humidity in the refrigerator compartment. It is a sponge or a moisture absorbing cloth that will help solve the problem.

Put the water-absorbing material at the bottom of the drawer and periodically wring it out. This will help to avoid excessive moisture, because of which the fruit spoil, lose texture and flavor and eventually rot. And at the same time, it will make it easier to maintain the drawer, which will be less likely to get dirty from spoiled produce.

It's also a good idea to store fruits separately from vegetables. They can be bad for each other and other produce because of ethylene gas, which is a ripening agent for some fruits. More often this gas is used in fruits, so it is better to keep them separate.
