What is a Life Pro Tip?

A Life Pro Tip (or an LPT) is a specific action with definitive results that improves life for you and those around you in a specific and significant way.

Keep in mind that an aphorism is not a LPT.

An aphorism is a a short clever saying that is intended to express a general truth or a concise statement of a principle.

Examples of aphorisms:

"A barking dog never bites."

"No snowflake in an avalanche ever feels responsible."

"All stones are broken stones."

Why did people downvote this?

This seems like a cheap and easy way to have the top of your fridge clean afaict

Because it just wastes wax paper, which, being waxy, attracts dirt and dust. A nice little breeding ground.

How hard is it to wipe the top of a fridge with a wet cloth and a couple shots of degreasing spray? I buy degreaser (Super Clean) by the gallon ($10), make my own diluted spray. That gallon lasts years, and works better than the expensive stuff.

Using wax or parchment for a tray that catches grease under something makes sense - then you just ball up the paper and pitch it, rather than waste gallons of hot water trying to clean the tray.

These kinds of people should work in a restaurant for a while, see what's involved in properly cleaning/maintaining a kitchen.
