Ringing in the New Year with a goal to get things cleaned up and more organized? Well, you'll want to know my three steps on how to get your fridge cleaned out the EASY way...three steps, two tools, no elbow grease required--even for your gooiest fridge messes. Stop by my blog to see all the details!
I started with a cramped, dirty fridge after many months of neglect. I found some science experiments at the bottom of my cheese drawer that I'd really wish I could unsee, but nonetheless, you have to start somewhere. Start by ridding your fridge of expired items.
After you've purged, get started on the cleaning.
I steam cleaned every inch of my fridge and used 7th Generation multi-surface cleaner to help it along. The steam kills all the germs and the gunk just washes off of the tray. You dry it off, then tackle the next mess.
You can see all the details on my blog for what I did next...but the AFTER was so amazing. I just keep opened my fridge and marveling at it's organization and cleanliness--and how much ROOM we have now! Man, I need to get groceries!!
We're all organized and ready to go now. Stop by my blog, The Cards We Drew, to see all the details on my step by step and my tips for getting organized.
Enjoyed the project?

I remove my shelves and run them through the dishwasher if needed otherwise just let hot water run over them and wipe them with a paper towel.

That's what I do but, you need to make sure the shelves have come to room temp first as the glass could shatter due to high heat on cold glass.

I love the Lazy - Susan idea, thanks! I'll try the stretch wrap... That may help.

Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
The shelves are removeable, yes? When mine get dirty, I transfer items to other spots, remove from fridge, place in sink. Rinse well, add cleaning compounds as needed.
Much easier than renting a steam cleaner and sitting in front of the fridge letting the contents warm up while the doors are open.
Is LG a good product, I bought a set from sears 5 years + still going strong.” But it hasn’t been spinning very good lately And I am afraid it’s starting to go right after the warranty
