2. Medicine
Medicine comes next on the list of items you shouldn’t store on the top of your fridge. Because it’s up high, the place can seem like a safe spot to stash this stuff, but it’s not. If you’ve ever read the label on your prescriptions and OTCs, you’ve likely seen these words: “Store in a cool, dry place.”
The top of your refrigerator is by no means like that. In fact, anywhere near a kitchen appliance is just the opposite, so keep the medicines in the drug cabinet if you want them to lose their efficiency.
There’s one more reason why meds are items you shouldn’t store on the top of your fridge. For those with kids, they may know how determined the little ones can be. Even if your child isn’t a daredevil, having drugs out in the open instead of behind a locked cabinet is a potential disaster waiting to occur.
