Tip: Clean The Refrigerator Daily In 10 Minute Chunks

Picture of Refrigerator - Tipnut.comIf 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!

    I use baking soda and water to clean out my fridge…it’s safe for the kids, kills germs, gets the job done, and keeps my fridge sparkling clean.

    I’m a professional housekeeper and I thoroughly enjoyed this tip. For years I’ve been able to help my clients keep a sparkling fridge by saying, “I don’t HAVE 3 hours to clean the fridge, but I do have 1 minute a day.” Every time I do the dishes I wipe one shelf or one surface or 1 drawer. The day before grocery shopping I check and see what’s old or funky and out it goes. I never have to clean the fridge and there are no nasty surprises ever.

    In addition, I hit the vent hood, stovetop, microwave inside and out and the breakfast table. Makes me look like a great housekeeper when in reality I just don’t have time not to take that few extra minutes.
