The Fridge

Oh my heck I love my fridge again. The thing I have discovered about deep cleaning is, You don't know how dirty it actually got, until it's clean again. Since I have started really cleaning and organizing my stress level is gone concerning that area and it is nice to just have to do a little maintenance to keep it as tidy as new again. :) Yay! My plan is working!!

The biggest tip I would give you is: Wait until right before you go grocery shopping again to clean out your fridge.  Then you have less you have to move out in order to start cleaning.

So, what I did is I moved everything out on the counter, sprayed everything down with my Blue Magic cleaning spray (Blue Dawn Dish Soap, Vinegar, and lemon essential oils), let it sit for a few minutes and then wiped everything down with a wet microfiber cloth. And "no" I didn't take all the drawers out and scrub them in the sink. (Who has time for that with 5 rugrats running around). The faster the better.

I like to have each section in my fridge designated for each item. I didn't realize how many sticks of butter had been sectioned off and put into little baggies, until I found them up in the door.  I combined them all in a baggy, and we are good to go. :) 

It's also nice to get rid of moldy stragglers in the back of the fridge. Now that my fridge is clean we waste less because things are organized and we can see all the food we have as an option to eat. 

Happy Cleaning!
