When I first started doing it, it seemed like a hassle initially. However, once the paper towels were laid down, it was like instant peace of mind. Previously, whenever I’d spot a stain on a refrigerator shelf or drawer, I’d panic — it meant I’d either have to immediately remove everything, maneuver around each item, or take the entire shelf or drawer out to clean it. Once the paper towels were in, even when I saw a stain or a spill, I’d leave it, knowing that all I had to do was let the paper towels do the hard work, then replace them.
