Did you know that the experts say that we should be cleaning out our refrigerator weekly and do a deep cleaning every 3-4 months? Cleaning your refrigerator is one of those jobs that can make all the difference in food safety and the smell of your home.
Imagine if you never cleaned your refrigerator and the smells in it started building. Every time you open the fridge door, that smell escapes into your home’s air and lingers there. I don’t know about you, but I don’t need the smell of bad peppers blending with the air that I breathe in everyday!
There are lots of ways to stay ahead of keeping your fridge clean and fresh. It all starts with a little preparation and organization.
The longer they sit, the funkier they get. Clean them up asap to avoid having the spill seep into other items and shelves.
The top of the refrigerator and the doors tend to be warmer areas, so store items that don’t need to be quite as cold there. Crisper type items should always be stored lower because that is the cooler part of the refrigerator.
**Keep in mind that each fridge is different and with so many different refrigerator options now – freezer on the top, freezer on the bottom, freezer on one side, etc. – this may vary and you may need to test each area out to see which is coldest in your particular style.
If they are all ready and just sitting there ready to eat, hopefully, your kids will gravitate towards them!
Add organizers to the inside of your fridge and put all of your jars in them. That way if there is a spill it will be contained to the organizer rather than spilling all over the entire shelf.
