The refrigerator saves perishable products, but it turns out that not only edible things can be stored in it. DELFI Tava Maja tells what items and why should be stored in the refrigerator.
Our mothers used to store nail varnishes in refrigerators, but few of us think of putting something in the refrigerator that cannot be eaten, although such things exist.
Apparel
According to experts, you can put clothes in the refrigerator that have been hanging in the closet for too long and have a musty smell.
Of course, no one canceled the washing, but if you need to act quickly, then first fold the clothes in a plastic bag and put in the freezer. Thicker clothes, such as jeans, should be put in the cold for at least a few hours, and even better at night.
It is also recommended to keep knitwear in the freezer - so the clothes will retain their shape. The washed knitwear should be placed on a clean, dry towel, straightened, put in a plastic bag and placed in the freezer for at least three hours. Then the clothes are taken out, waiting for it to thaw, and then it can be removed from the bag. At first, the clothes will be slightly wet, so they should be spread on a smooth surface in a cool place.
If chewing gum adheres to your clothes, put the clothes in the freezer, then it will be much easier to remove the velcro.
Footwear
The refrigerator helps to get rid of the unpleasant odor not only from clothes, but also in shoes.
By the way, if your shoes are a little small, then they can also be put in the refrigerator. You can also put plastic bags in your shoes and fill them with water - when freezing, the water expands and this helps to expand the shoes a bit. But in no case do not let the water get on the shoes in the freezer, otherwise the shoes can go bad.

Tights
Most women face an eternal problem - pantyhose that breaks no matter how neatly they are worn.
Experts advise putting new tights in the freezer and getting them out of there immediately before putting them on - the cold strengthens the nylon fibers and the tights last a little longer.
Linens
Bed linens are a favorite place for germs and dust mites, and often they provoke health problems in people, especially allergy sufferers.
Of course, bed linen should be washed regularly, but if this measure is not enough, then do not rush to the store for a new set of linen, just put the washed linen in a bag and then in the freezer for at least 12 hours - low temperature destroys most of the bacteria and ticks .
Food film
For those who are faced with the problem of cling film, when it is impossible to unwind it and it seems that it remains only to throw it in the trash, the following advice may come in handy: put a roll of cling film in the refrigerators for at least 30 minutes. The film will become stronger and more convenient to use.
seed
Since experts do not recommend storing seeds for a long time in a warm place so that bacteria do not multiply, the only place that is suitable for long-term storage of seeds is a freezer. They can be stored on a tray or in a bag, and before use, pull them out and allow to thaw.
