Lifestyle Challenge: The Clean Fridge

Your refrigerator works hard for you, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, keeping your food fresh and safe, so it’s time to give it a good scrub! Trust us, having a clean fridge is incredibly satisfying.

When was the last time you treated it to a good scrub?

This week I’m challenging you to treat your fridge to a good cleaning!

How to keep your fridge spotless: 

🍏 Inspect the contents weekly, removing anything that’s spoiled and wiping down any spills 
🍓Thoroughly clean your fridge with the change of each season
Use a natural, gentle cleaning solution for your refrigerator.

Or, you can make your own by mixing 2 tablespoons of baking soda in a quart of water.

If you do use a harsher cleanser, make sure it’s food safe and doesn’t contain any strong scents that your food will absorb.

The Clean Fridge Guide: 

🍑 Remove everything from the refrigerator (including the shelves!)
🍋 Tossing anything expired, or that you don’t need 
🍇Let the shelves and bins come to room temp and wipe down the inside of your fridge with the baking soda mixture. 
🍉Use a damp cloth to wipe away the cleaning solution, and then dry with a clean towel
🍏Use more of the baking soda/water solution and soak the shelves and bins 
🍓Dry your shelves and bins and return everything to the refrigerator.

Voila! Your fridge will look great when you’re finished.
