I was throwing out fruit and vegetables just after a couple days, especially strawberries, as they just never lasted. Since I have fridge friend, they are looking so much better. So glad I found this. Thank you.

A note from Sarah
I Thought Binning Half The Crisper Every Sunday Was Just Part Of Feeding A Family
Sarah Whitlock
Fridge Friend household since February 2026. Two kids, one big weekly shop, one bin that used to be full of green slime.
Every Sunday I did the same thing. Pulled the crisper out, found the bag of spinach that had turned to soup, the strawberries with the white fur, the limp celery, the half cucumber that had gone soft at one end. Into the bin, then out to the shops to buy it all again.
I had tried the tricks. Paper towel in the salad bag. Bicarb in the door. A “produce saver” container that cost $40 and held one lettuce. The ethylene balls from the supermarket that are good for about three months and then just sit there.
What I did not know is that most of it was being caused by one thing. Fruit and veg give off a gas called ethylene as they ripen, and in a closed fridge it builds up and pushes everything near it to spoil faster. Cold slows it. Nothing I was doing removed it.
A friend who shops once a fortnight told me she had a green block in her fridge from an Australian company that absorbs the gas. It sounded like a gimmick. The 90-day guarantee is the only reason I ordered one.
Week two, I pulled the crisper out on Sunday and there was nothing to throw away. I stood there for a second because I genuinely had nothing to put in the bin.
That was nine months ago. I now keep one on the main shelf and one in the crisper, and I refresh them in the microwave on the first of the month when the reminder email lands. The Black Friday deal below is the best one I have seen, so if you have been thinking about it, this is the week.
BEFORE
The Sunday bin run.
About $19 of produce a week, every week.
AFTER
Same shelf, week two.
Nothing to throw out.
One in the crisper, one on the shelf.
That is the setup most two-adult households land on.

100,000+
Fridge Friends sold to 60,000+ households, rated 4.6 from 1,268 reviews
Savings estimate: average household wastes about $2,500 of food a year, roughly 40% of it fresh produce. Results vary.
Here’s Why 60,000 Households Keep One In The Fridge
Six things it does that the bicarb box and the salad spinner never will.
1
It takes the ethylene out of the fridge
Ripening fruit and veg release ethylene gas. The mineral core absorbs it, so the cascade that turns a full crisper into a bin run never gets going.
2
It traps mould, bacteria and excess moisture too
The same minerals pull the airborne mould spores and bacteria that spread rot from one punnet to the next, and the damp that turns greens to slime.
3
The fridge stops smelling
Up to 98.6% less odour in the brand’s testing, and nothing added to cover it up. You open the door and it just smells clean.
4
Three years, no refills
About once a month you refresh it with a short spell in the microwave and put it back. No cartridges, no sachets, no subscription.
5
Built with a university, tested in a lab
Designed with Deakin University and lab-tested by CoLabs for ethylene absorption. Twelve years of commercial cool-room filtering, shrunk to fit a home fridge.
6
Covered for 90 days, then 3 years
A 90-day money-back guarantee to try it, and a 3-year replacement warranty once you keep it. Fewer than 1% of customers send it back.
Here’s the problem
Every Other Fix Treats A Symptom. None Of Them Remove The Gas.
1
Bicarb in the door only handles some smells
An open box of baking soda takes the edge off odours for a week or two. It does nothing about ethylene, mould or bacteria, which is what is actually killing your produce.
2
Plastic bags and containers trap moisture
Sealing greens in a bag keeps the ethylene in with them and adds condensation. That is why the spinach goes to soup inside the packet it came in.
3
Supermarket ethylene balls run out in months
They do a small version of the right job and then quietly stop, usually without you noticing. Fridge Friend works for up to three years and tells you when to refresh it.
4
Turning the fridge colder does not stop ripening
Cold slows ethylene. It does not remove it. Crank the dial and you freeze the lettuce while the bananas keep gassing the apples.
The old way
Handles some odours and nothing else.
Baking soda does not absorb ethylene, mould or bacteria.
What’s actually inside
A Mineral Core, A Vented Shell, And Nothing You Have To Replace
It looks like a small green block. Here is what each part is doing while you sleep.
Core
Natural absorbing minerals
The core is a blend of minerals that bind ethylene, odour molecules and moisture from the air. Nothing is released back into the fridge.
Shell
Vented so air can move through it
The wave-shaped slots let fridge air pass across the minerals without the core ever touching your food.
Placement
Shelf, door or crisper
Stand it on a shelf, clip it to the door or lay it in the crisper. Most people run one in the main compartment and one in the drawer.
TESTING
Designed with Deakin, tested by CoLabs
Ethylene absorption measured in a sealed chamber, not guessed at. The same approach the founders used for commercial cool rooms for 12 years.
IN THE BOX
Instructions, reminders, nothing to top up
Activate it, place it, and Fridge Friend emails you on the first of each month when it is time for the microwave refresh.
LIFE
Up to three years each
At the Everyday Pack price that is under 8 cents a day per filter, to stop throwing out the food you already paid for.
What Should I Expect In The First Month?
The guarantee is 90 days, but this is the pattern customers describe in their reviews.
DAY
1
Activate it, place it, forget it
Follow the activation step in the box, put it on the shelf or in the crisper, close the door. There is nothing to switch on and nothing to plug in.
DAY
3
The berries are still firm
Raspberries and strawberries are the test most people run first, because they normally turn within a few days. This is the first thing customers notice.
DAY
7
The Sunday bin run gets short
Herbs, salad leaves and cucumbers that used to go slimy are still usable. This is the week most reviews get written.
WEEK
7
Carrots and celery that are still crisp
Customers report carrots, celery and broccolini holding for three weeks. The fridge no longer has a smell when you open it.
MONTH
1
The reminder email lands
A short spell in the microwave, exactly as the instructions say, and it goes back in. Repeat monthly for up to three years. Over-doing the microwave step is the one way to damage it, so follow the timing.

I purchased my original Fridge Friend three years ago and have definitely noticed the incredible benefits over that time. It kept my food fresh for so much longer! Since my first unit finally reached its three year mark, I just purchased and installed the freshness refill. The replacement process was incredibly easy, and the unit is already back to work keeping my fridge fresh. I absolutely love this product and highly recommend it!

"I was a little skeptical as to whether fridge friend could make a noticeable difference, happy to say it does!, i have done everything they say to do, liners, baskets and wrapping some veges etc, the difference now to prior purchasing is dramatic. It is quite expensive as you need 2-3 ff for it to work properly but well worth the investment, they will pay for themselves in produce savings in no time. Great customer service, communications and shipping. Thanks FF.

I was not sure of the actual effectiveness my new of Fridge Friends would be. Now, no smells in my fridge. Money savings as not trying to use up all my fruit and vegetables in 3 days and needing to go back to the shops for supplies and then spending money on additional items I really didn't need. Even better I get a Fridge Friend reminder each month to reset the units.

The fridge friend really works! Our food waste has dramatically decreased since using it - all those leafy greens that usually go limp after 3 days can last over a week and everything is fresher. On top of that, customer service is amazing - I got a small hole in my mineral sachet and it was replaced free of charge straight away.

This product really works! Like many reviewers here, I was initially sceptical of the ads on my phone. However, the "buy one, get one free" offer was enough of a discount for me to give the product a go after checking review sites. This was some 12 months ago, and the difference is obvious. Fresh produce lasts notably longer, things like strawberries.

I have purchased four fridge friends, two for myself and one each for my daughter and adult granddaughter.
I purchased my two first and was so delighted with how they kept my fresh produce, plus the benefit of completely eliminating the need to throw anything away due to spoilage, that I purchased the other two.

Our belief
Nobody Should Have To Buy Their Vegetables Twice
Jon Roberts spent 12 years supplying mineral filters to commercial cool rooms in restaurants and supermarkets, where a crate of spoiled produce is money gone. He and his son Nic spent two years adapting that technology for a household fridge, with Deakin University on the design and CoLabs on the testing.
The result is a filter you buy once, refresh monthly and keep for years. No refills to sell you, no subscription to remember. We would rather you throw away less food than buy more of ours.
100% Australian-owned. Ships from Australia.
How To Use It
Three steps. The box tells you the microwave timing, and the monthly email reminds you.
1
Activate and place it
Follow the activation step in the box, then stand it on the main shelf, clip it to the door or lay it in the crisper.
2
Refresh it monthly
A short spell in the microwave, exactly as the instructions say, lets the minerals release what they have absorbed. Cool it, put it back.
3
One per zone, replace after three years
One for the main shelf, one for the crisper, one for a second or caravan fridge. Each works for up to three years.

Who Is Fridge Friend For? And Who Is It Not For?
It is for you if
✓
You throw out berries, herbs or salad most weeks and it annoys you every time
✓
You do one big shop and want it to last the whole week, or the whole fortnight
✓
Your fridge has a smell you keep covering with bicarb
✓
You run a second fridge, a bar fridge or a caravan fridge
✓
You feed a family, or you shop for one and cannot get through produce fast enough
✓
You want something you buy once and keep for years
It is probably not for you if
✘
You expect it to rescue produce that is already on the turn
✘
You want a scented deodoriser rather than a clean-smelling fridge
✘
You will not do the monthly microwave refresh, even with the reminder
✘
You shop daily and never throw anything out
✘
You want a one-off gadget rather than one filter per fridge zone
Ethylene from the fruit
Ripening slows right down
Minerals absorb it
The science of a fresh crisper
Your Fruit Is Gassing Your Vegetables. Cold Does Not Stop It.
Apples, bananas, tomatoes, avocados and stone fruit all release ethylene as they ripen. It is a plant hormone, and in a sealed fridge it builds up and tells everything nearby to ripen too. That is why one brown banana seems to take the whole drawer with it.
Refrigeration slows the reaction but does not remove the gas. Fridge Friend’s mineral core binds it out of the air, along with the mould spores and moisture that finish the job, so produce ripens at its own pace instead of its neighbour’s.
It was designed with Deakin University and lab-tested by CoLabs for exactly this, and it needs nothing from you except a monthly refresh.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the mystery gift pack work?
Think of it as an air filter for your fridge. As fruit and veg ripen, they give off ethylene, the natural gas that makes produce ripen and rot. In a closed fridge it builds up and speeds everything along.
Fridge Friend is a 100% natural mineral filter that helps absorb three things at once: ethylene gas, airborne bacteria and mould, and excess moisture. It works on the air, not the food, so it never touches anything you eat.
Designed by Deakin University and tested by CoLabs, it's built on the same mineral filtration our family has supplied to commercial cool rooms for over 12 years.
For best results, activate it before first use, then give your produce room to breathe rather than sealing it in plastic. Full steps are in our Setup Guide.
How many do I need?
For a limited time, every pack is discounted, and the bigger packs include free shipping:
● Starter Pack: 1 Fridge Friend for $89.95 (RRP $99.95, save 10%)
● Everyday Pack: 1 Fridge Friend for $89.95 (RRP $99.95, save 10%)
● Family Pack: 3 Fridge Friends for $209.90 (RRP $299.85, save 30%) plus free shipping
The sale price applies automatically at checkout, no code needed. Some discount codes can't be combined with sale pricing.
What does the monthly refresh involve?
Each Fridge Friend lasts up to 3 years, with no ongoing refills.
To keep it working at its best, refresh it once a month with gentle heat. The quickest way is up to 15 seconds in the microwave (10 seconds if yours has no turntable), one unit at a time, on a folded paper towel. You can also use a conventional oven at 60 to 70°C for up to 30 minutes, or leave it in direct sun for at least 3 hours. Let it cool fully before it goes back in the fridge. We'll email you a reminder each month.
At the 3-year mark, a Freshness Refill replaces the mineral insert so you can keep using the same unit. Every Fridge Friend is also backed by a 3-year replacement warranty.
How long does one last?
Most households get the best results with 2 to 3, because freshness depends on the whole fridge, not just one spot.
● Starter Pack (1 unit): Single-person households or small fridges (200 to 350L). Place it in the crisper.
● Everyday Pack (2 units): 2 to 3 people with a medium fridge (350 to 500L). One in the crisper, one on a shelf.
● Family Pack (3 units): 3 to 5 people, fridges over 400L, or a second fridge. Across both crispers and the main shelf.
Green or white?
Yes. Fridge Friend is a 100% natural, unprocessed mineral blend. It doesn't chemically react with food or packaging, it's stable, and it doesn't break down or produce any by-products. Independent safety data shows no hazards under normal use.
It works on the air, so it never comes into contact with your food. The same mineral has been used in commercial cool rooms in cafes, restaurants and pubs across Australia for over 12 years.
What is the guarantee?
Try it for 90 days. If it doesn't change the way your groceries last, we'll provide a full refund. Just email hello@fridgefriend.com.au and we'll organise it.
Before you do, it's worth reaching out. Most issues come down to setup, placement or storage, and we're happy to troubleshoot with you. Your purchase is also backed by a 3-year replacement warranty.
When will it arrive?
Shipping is free on the Everyday Pack and Family Pack. For the Starter Pack, shipping is calculated at checkout.
