A Clean Fridge!
Today, on my to do list, was to clean out the fridge. I haven’t done it in ages so it took me a good hour. If you want to clean your fridge in less time, I suggest using 15 minute increments.
- Clean only one shelf at a time.
- Take everything off the shelf and place on a table.
- Remove the shelf, clean and wipe down the surrounding area in the fridge.
- Go through all the food and through out old and expired condiments and items. Be harsh!
- Put the food back on the shelf neatly. You can reorganize all the items once you have every drawer and shelf clean.
- Don’t be tempted to use box cutters to remove the old stuck on food and spills! This will ruin your fridge. Use warm water and a sponge. If necessary, use a plastic childs knife to scrape gently.
To prove to you that I did it, here are the before and after pictures!

I am about to clean out my fridge after moving to a new house–not something I relish. Maybe I’ll take a before and after picture myself, just for posterity.
Great blog!

Great tip. Breaking tasks down into 15 minutes works great for me too.
