Fall Fridge Clean...

Feathering My Nest has moved!... come check all of this out over at www.featheringmynest.ca/blog

The Fall cleanup has begun... I started with the fridge... having that out of the way will make the big house scrub down... next weekend... will go much quicker...


Check out the mess... that just organizational... under that food you'll find spills and onion skins... you know.. it doesn't take long to get messy in there...


I concentrated on just the fridge last night... Pull EVERYTHING out... I work kinda quick so I just had everything on the kitchen counters... if you're a slowpoke have a cooler handy for the foods that you don't want getting warm... maybe throw some ice in the bottom... thats a lot of fussing around though... maybe enough to inspire you slowpokes to work quick on this one...

As you pull out bottles and cartons wipe them down with a warm lightly soapy cloth... get any stickies off... then packing it all back in will go quicker...


Then start pulling parts out of the fridge... clean the bottom... and wipe down the walls...  I have one of the sinks ready with warm soapy water and wash... so rinse... dry... replace all of the fridge parts...

The Brita seems to have a slow leak at the spout... so there was some hard water stains on the top shelf... pick up a couple of these...  best scubbies ever... most kitchen stores seem to carry them... glass cleaned in no time...


Crumbs and spills be gone!.. nothing left under the glass edge... sounds kinda lame but I was stoked when I discovered that the glass shelf came out separate of the piece that it sits into... so easy to clean!..


Ta-Da!.. clean fridge!..  Be sure as you are putting your food back into the fridge that you consolidate any duplicate containers... if possible... I had three bottles of home made salsa... now I have two... then check for any items that may have gone past date... like salad dressings...  if any of the fruit and veggies aren't looking so hot then toss them into your composter... 


...and order is restored to the refrigerator...  freezer is easy... again work quick with the freezer... luckily its smaller!..
