Refrigerator Tidying Assistance

By Ashley Stern


Whether you have recently gotten a new refrigerator or are trying to make the best of your existing one, it is important that you keep this equipment spotless. It is rather easy to let a fridge become unorganized and soiled over time, but you would be surprised at the peace of mind having a clean refrigerator can offer.

After all, you likely see this appliance every time you walk past your kitchen, and you glance at the interior several times a day when you open it. Find out the best tips to get started cleaning this important product.

One inadvisable habit you probably have is not throwing out aged food when it expires. Many people merely forget about expired food products, including leftovers from weeks ago, and just put new food in front of them when they cook or go to the grocery store.

This results in packages of old food being shoved to the back or sides of your appliance. If you do not get sick first from accidentally consuming old food, you may simply feel disgusted when you finally open a container only to see mold. Clearly, going through your fridge at least monthly and throwing out old food and leftovers from more than a week ago is a good way to ensure that your fridge stays clean for a while.

You will most likely be surprised how empty your refrigerator appears after you get rid of aged food. You might also be surprised at how dirty the shelves and drawers are, now that you can see them. The next step is to take out all the food, and then clean the shelves with a wet, soapy rag or sponge to get rid of crumbs and buildup. If you can quickly take out the shelves, you might find it easiest to just scrub it in the sink. The same goes for the drawers, which are usually detachable.

When tidying your refrigerator, do not forget about the exterior since that is what many guests see first. It is rather easy to simply wipe down the exterior with a wet rag to get rid of finger prints, though if you have a stainless steel product you can opt for special cleaner for that material. If your fridge features a water dispenser, and there are hard water stains, simply pouring some vinegar in the tray can help get rid of them quickly. Of course, remember to take off old mail or expired coupons from the exterior of the fridge to avoid clutter.

Following these tips can help you keep your refrigerator clean, whether it is old or new. This is one product that is seen a lot by house guests, so keeping it clean is crucial. It is also crucial for your health since keeping old food around can result in sickness.
