Tip: Clean The Refrigerator Daily In 10 Minute Chunks
If you dread the chore of a thorough refrigerator cleaning job that should be done regularly (or your fridge turns into one funky mess), here’s an easy way to avoid the big task:
Break the job down into 10 minute daily chunks of time.
To get started, divide the fridge into a maximum of 7 sections:
- The inside door
- Each shelf counts as one section
- Drawers
- Outside of fridge
Each day assign 10 minutes to remove the food items from one section–wash the racks/shelves/drawers, all surrounding wall surfaces (see Quick Tip: Refrigerator Cleaning), toss expired food items and put everything back in a neat and organized manner. Top up with fresh deodorizer as needed.
For the outside of the fridge, do a deep clean on top of the fridge (removing anything placed there) and scrub down all sides.
By keeping the sections to 7 or less, your refrigerator is thoroughly scrubbed and cleaned each and every week (in 10 minute daily chunks of time). Nice!
