September 18, 2007 | Kitchen, Cleaning tips
What day is your garbage picked up? Mine goes out to the curb Wednesday night. So my task every Wednesday afternoon (when the kids are napping of course) is to clean out my fridge and freezer.
Clean it out the day you take your trash out, so you don’t have food rotting in your trash can and critters free-loading out of your can. Do it once a week and you’ll never have science projects growing in there.
A glass and mirror cleaner will clean most of the spills you have, but Simple Green will take care of anything goopy or greasy. If you have really tough spills they’ll come off easier if you remove the shelves/drawers and let them come to room temp before you clean them.
And do I really need to tell you that an open box of baking soda will eat odors? It’s true. If you don’t want to keep a whole box of it in your fridge pour a few spoonfuls into a small container, like an emptied, clean 2-oz jar pimentos or a tiny Tupperware. Either way, food is always more appetizing when you fridge doesn’t smell like last year’s taco dinner.
