Fridge accessories have been the hype in various kitchen accessories. Everyone seems to love filling their house with extra household items, from one-swipe table cleaners, multi-functional brooms, and even magic cleaners.
The same goes for our refrigerators. Various fridge accessories have been circulating online. While some are useful and can significantly improve the way you store your food, some can damage your fridge irrevocably. In this blog, we’ve listed the only accessories you need for your refrigerators.
1. Air Filter 
The air inside your fridge can significantly decline, especially if you’re storing various kinds of food. While constant cleaning can minimize odor on your fridge, you can also use an air filter.
A refrigerator air filter is used to catch airborne contaminants that may be trapped inside your fridge. It can be brought by spoiled food that was taken out late, expired medicines, or improperly stored chemicals. Air filters are installed in the back part of your unit to deodorize and clean the circulating air inside.
Aside from reducing the risk of odor inside your fridge, deodorized air can reduce the risk of mold buildup and help you maintain the freshness of your food for a more extended period.
2. Door Alarm
Unclosed fridge doors are one of the most common causes of high electricity bills. According to recent studies, open fridge doors consume around 7-30% more energy which amounts to 80-120 kWh of power wastage. Aside from this, it can also cause faster food spoilage, as the fridge won’t be able to maintain the optimal temperature to keep your food fresh.
Any family member can easily leave your door open, especially if you have older units that don’t create sound when the door is completely shut. So, it’s best to get a refrigerator alarm that goes off if you leave your fridge door open for a specific length of time. However, before securing a door alarm, make sure that your fridge door doesn’t have any damage on your door hinges.
3. High Quality Produce Drawer Liner 
Fresh fruits and vegetables are definitely the best for our bodies, not to mention they are delicious, too. However, storing them in our fridge and keeping them fresh can really be challenging.
A high-quality produce drawer liner is an excellent fridge accessory that can help you store your perishables. They’re made to reduce moisture to help the food last longer, prevent mold buildup, and help keep your fridge from developing a foul odor. It also serves as a soft cushion so your fruits will not get bruised from the hard areas of your fridge.
4. Drinks Dispenser
A big area of household fridges is occupied by beverages such as soda, water, juice, and beer. If this also applies to you, investing in an excellent beverage dispenser is best.
There are lots of beverage dispensers or drink organizers which you can choose from. For your water, juices, or other drinks that you usually consume every hour, it’s best to get a glass water jug with a faucet-like dispenser. On the other hand, for your sodas and beers, which are best stored on their original bottles and cans, it’s best to get a drawer-like drinks storage to maximize the space inside your fridge.
In fridge accessories, less is more.
Despite the hype on social media for various fridge accessories, be very mindful of the things you buy. Remember that all fridges have weight limits, and some of these accessories may add significant weight to your fridge, which may cause damage when unused properly. They can be counterproductive, too, as you’ll end up using less space on your fridge just to accommodate them.
If you already have these four essential fridge accessories, it’s safe to say that you’ve already maximized your unit. However, remember that no accessories can replace a well-maintained refrigerator.
