How to clean a fridge – Tackle it Tuesday

I cleaned the fridge!

I took pictures and everything, but I was using a camera that I haven’t used with my new computer.  Alas, I don’t know where the driver disc is and there are compatablity issues between the camera and the computer.  I will explain with words exactly what I did.

First things first, I emptied everything from the fridge and put it onto the counters.  I threw away anything that was expired like a salad dressing and a ricotta cheese container.  I also consolidated some things by putting all the butter sticks into one box and I had two used syrup containers so I poured one into the other making one full bottle.

Next, I cleaned all of the shelves and drawers with a mix of vinegar and water spray and a towel.  Once they were clean and dry, I put things back away.  I organized like items together as much as possible.  The onions and garlic are together in one drawer, carrots and apples in another, and one drawer is empty.  I put the milk, soda, cream, and eggs by each other on the top shelf.  On the second shelf there is shredded cheese and tortillas.  On the side door, I have cheese and butter together, syrups and biscuits together, condiments for things like burgers and sandwiches together, and finally breakfast condiments together like jelly and juices.

If you think my fridge sounds bare, it really is.  I am awaiting a big shopping trip to do my month’s worth of groceries.  I wish I could share my pictures with you, but imagine a sparkly clean fridge that isn’t cluttered.  That’s mine!
