The method is simple, but the results are effective.

Brilio.net - The refrigerator door can keep the cold temperature of the refrigerator stable, so that the food ingredients inside can always be fresh. However, there are times when a refrigerator door that is quite old is difficult to close tightly because the rubber has problems.

Rubber on the refrigerator door that is no longer tight could be due to a lot of dirt sticking to it or the texture is too stiff and loose. If it's dirty, usually the refrigerator door can be cleaned with simple ingredients such as baking soda, toothpaste, or dish soap.

But if the refrigerator door rubber is stiff and loose, people often choose to remove or disassemble it from the refrigerator door first. Next, the refrigerator door rubber can be soaked in hot water. But this method is often considered complicated and not necessarily effective.

So, another alternative, you can imitate the experience regarding dealing with loose refrigerator door rubber as in the upload shared by TikTok @sitisulaiha52. After all, to practice this trick, you only need one tool and you don't need to dismantle the refrigerator door rubber at all.
