Fridge Friend uses a unique, inert blend of naturally occurring minerals that helps keep fresh produce fresher for longer.

These minerals have a unique porous structure that allows them to:

• Absorb ethylene gas (the natural ripening hormone released by produce)
• Reduce excess moisture that speeds up spoilage
• Adsorb airborne bacteria and odours inside your fridge

Our mineral is:

• Naturally derived and non-toxic
• Inert and stable in food environments
• Free from chemicals, sprays, or additives

While the raw mineral is natural, what matters is how it’s used. Fridge Friend is designed to maximise airflow and surface exposure inside your fridge, which is what allows the mineral to work effectively over time.

It’s not baking soda, activated carbon, zeolites or potassium permanganate.

We have been using this same type of mineral filtration in commercial cool rooms since 2013 via www.ecofreshfilters.com , and today Fridge Friend brings that approach into over 50,000 households.

Every Fridge Friend is designed to stay effective for at least 3 years (without requiring refills) when you follow the simple monthly refresh routine; just a quick heat in the sun, oven, or microwave to keep the minerals active. 🌿✨

Great question! To get the most out of your Fridge Friend®, here’s what we recommend:

1. With two Fridge Friends, put one in the crisper drawer and the other in the main fridge compartment for even better coverage.
2. If you have three or more Fridge Friends, put one in each crisper drawer, another in the main fridge compartment and one in the freezer.

Wherever you place it, make sure your Fridge Friend® has plenty of airflow around it—avoid covering it up with produce or other items.

Modern fridges tend to have great airflow, so placement isn’t super critical. That said, keeping Fridge Friend® close to your fresh produce will give you the best results.

Most households get the best results with 2–3 Fridge Friends placed across the fridge.

Why? Because freshness isn’t just about one spot, it’s about creating the right environment throughout your fridge.

Here’s a simple guide:

Singles Pack (1 Fridge Friend)

Best for: Single-person households with small (200-350L) fridges or light use

Place it in your crisper or near your most-used produce. A great starting point, but coverage is limited.

Couples Pack (2 Fridge Friends)

Ideal for: 2–3-person households with a medium-sized (350-500L) fridge. 

Use one in the crisper and one on a shelf. This helps create a balanced fridge environment so fruit and veg stay fresher for longer.

Family Pack (3 Fridge Friends)

Perfect for 3–5-person households, medium–large (400+L) fridges, or anyone serious about reducing food waste.

Place across both crispers and the main shelf area for full coverage. This setup gives the strongest results and helps maximise how long your groceries last.

No, Fridge Friend doesn’t need refills! Unlike most alternatives, it’s guaranteed to last at least three years without any extra costs. At the end of three years, replacement refills are available, enabling you to reuse the casing.

All you need to do is give it a quick reset once a month by popping it in the microwave. This helps kill any bacteria and “nasties” it’s absorbed, and then it’s ready to go again—fresh and effective! It’s truly the gift that keeps on giving 😊.

For all the details, check out our setup and maintenance guide.

Ah, the care and feeding of your Fridge Friend®! It's pretty simple, really.

Once you've set up your Fridge Friend, just place it in your fridge, as close to the majority of your fresh produce, and let it work its magic.

No need for any special attention. It's a low-maintenance friendship that brings you fresh produce.

Simply zap it in my microwave (or use a conventional oven) once a month for 20-seconds and you're good to go for another 30 days! You can also use a conventional oven, full details here.

Well, that would break our hearts, but we understand that not every friendship is a perfect match.
