5 Ways To Keep Your Fridge Organized

Aside from the dishwasher, your fridge is probably the appliance that’s most used – and abused – in your kitchen. Drips, spills, and crumbs accumulate without warning. Thankfully, we have 5 tips to help keep it clean and clutter free:

# Clean Every Week

very other week do a clean sweep and toss out what’s old. Not only can you get rid of leftovers or produce before it goes bad, but will create a fresh picture of what you need at the store, and maybe what you can buy less of. As a bonus, it’ll help cut down on the time needed during a deep clean.

# Box Storage

Use a multi part box to store things. It will help you get more space.

# Get Out Your Vacuum

Little food bits can be hard to remove from drawers. By simply using your brush attachment, suck up the dried debris for hassle-free cleaning.

# Wipe Down Sticky Bottles

This one is pretty simple, don’t put something back in the fridge if the exterior of the container is sticky. Do a quick wipe before returning to its chilly casa.

# Organize Food

Use labeled baskets to keep similar foods in the same area (i.e. condiments, meats, cheeses, etc). If you are a portioned meal planner, another trick is to put the main food ingredients for specific days of the week in their own basket. Then simply pull and cook based on what’s needed for that day.
