Your refrigerator serves as the ultimate storage spot for your beverages, fresh produce, delectable lunch meats, and so much more. Therefore, ensuring its cleanliness and proper maintenance is crucial for the sake of hygiene. The great news is that maintaining a spotless fridge is a breeze, and it won't impose a significant burden on you to keep it tidy. Allow me to present a few easy-to-follow steps you should routinely undertake to keep your fridge in pristine condition:
Wipe Down All the Shelves
Using a non-toxic cleaner, wipe down all the shelves and drawers in your fridge. Residue can build up in fridges. For example, where you keep your produce, residue from your wet vegetables can leak into the fridge. You don't want this debris building up, so to avoid smells and unnecessary messes, make sure you wipe down the interior of your fridge around every week.
Take Stock of Food Before Grocery Runs
Take stock of what food you have, before you go buy groceries. This way, you'll know what to buy and what not to buy, and you can plan to make meals based on the food you have left in your fridge. When you do this, you'll throw away spoiled food, reduce the amount of food waste you produce, and keep your fridge super organized.
Clean the Exterior of the Fridge
Don't forget to wash the exterior of the fridge, too. Be sure to pay close attention to the fridge handle. Wipe that, along with the exterior doors of the fridge, well. It's good practice to do this frequently as well. Depending on your lifestyle, the number of guests you host, and the number of people who live with you, you might need to wipe the fridge's exterior several times a week. Whenever the fridge looks a little dirty, wipe it down.
With these tips, your fridge is on the way to looking spic-and-span. You deserve to have a clean kitchen, if you're living in an Olympus Apartment. For more information about our homes, contact us.
