Happy
national Fridge Cleaning Day!
Please come
forward if you created this day! I would like a word with you! Seriously
though, who created this day?! I want to ignore this day like the plague. But I’m
sure if I didn’t clean my fridge it would probably be able to cause the
plague. Cleaning your fridge may
seem like a daunting task but fear not! This blog post will save you!
Alright So
first off give your fridge a break! You think YOU never get a break? Your
fridge really doesn’t! So lets give it a break while we clean it.
Get a
cooler and place all your contents into it, Make sure they say cold! While your
taking everything out look at all of your food!
Go through these questions as
your place each thing into your cooler:
Has it
expired?
Does it smell
funny?
Are you
really going to use it?
Then find
your circuit breaker or fuse box and flip it off. Your fridge will thank you
later.
Get the
shelves and drawers at a good room temperature before you wash them.
First
things first, DO NOT USE SOAP. The scent can stay behind and then your food
will absorb it...Gross. So mix 2
tablespoons of baking soda and 1 quart hot water. Grab a sponge, a NEW sponge
and start rubbing down the entire fridge. If you have those annoying spots just
get some of the mixture and layer it on soon it will crack off. If it doesn’t
try a little clump of toothpaste!
Clean the
walls and the door. Don’t forget the shelf seams and the rubber door seal!
Make sure
everything is dry. The drawers, shelves, and walls!
Find the
water filter. You should be changing this every 6 months. If you’re a slacker
like me it happens when I do this fridge cleaning once a year! So find it and
replace it.
When you’re
ready, turn your fridge back on. Make sure it’s a good 37 degrees. As you are putting everything back into
your fridge get a damp towel and whip down every bottle as it goes back to its
place!
BOOM!
Congrats! Your fridge is now clean. Easy huh? Well just make sure you do it every
year for a good ol’ deep clean.
