FAQ:
Q: Can aluminum foil completely remove all fridge odors?
A: While it helps absorb and neutralize many smells, for strong or persistent odors (like spoiled food), it’s best to clean your fridge thoroughly first.
Q: Is this safe for food?
A: Absolutely. The foil isn’t touching the food directly — it’s simply placed in the fridge to improve overall freshness.
Q: How often should I change the foil ball?
A: Replace it every 2–3 weeks, or sooner if you notice it becoming heavily wrinkled and compacted.
Q: Does the quality of the foil matter?
A: Regular household aluminum foil works just fine; no need for heavy-duty varieties unless you prefer them.
