Cleaning your refrigerator out on a regular basis will not only help your fridge run more economically - it will also be easier to find exactly what you need without having to rummage through an unorganised mess.
What are you waiting for? Get to it...
Step 1: If your fridge is in a real mess - begin by emptying all the contents. Use an esky to keep your items cool while you clean and reorganise.
Step 2: Remove the shelving in your fridge and clean the interior and shelving with soapy water or if it is extremely dirty or you have stains, use a small amount of bleach (not too much). Wipe dry with paper towels before you put them back in. Don't forget the exterior of the fridge and the seals.
Step 3: Dispose of anything that has passed the use by date in the rubbish or anything that looks a little dodgy. {Remember there is a difference between best before and use by dates}!
Step 4: When you put the items back into your fridge - make sure that you have items grouped together so it is easier to access and easy to know what you are about to run out of. This is also a great time to wipe off any containers or jars of food.
Step 5: Clean your fridge out on a regular basis - weekly, or at least fortnightly. Your fridge will thank you for it!
