FREDERICK, MD, Apr 20, 2024—Nothing is more off-putting than a fridge in desperate need of a clean, both for sanitation, and sanity. To help, Kim Massett, REALTOR of Real Estate Teams, LLC offers the following suggestions.
Empty it out. "Set aside thirty minutes every other weekend to completely empty out your fridge, inventory your items and toss anything expired," recommends Massett.
Vacuum it. Yes, vacuum. Once your fridge is empty, use a hose attachment on your vacuum to snap up crumbs and debris that are a pain to wipe away. While you're at it, clean the coils in the back of your fridge to keep them free from dust that slows the fridge's efficiency.
Give it a wipe. "Using your favorite cleaner or a vinegar solution, wipe down your fridge's inside and outside, as well as any condiments or containers you plan to put back inside," says Massett.
Line your shelves. Using reusable liners or simple paper towels, line the shelves of your fridge for easy cleaning on the next go-around.
Load it back up. When reloading your fridge, try to organize contents in the sections you use them, for instance, gather produce together, dairy together, sandwich items nestled in a small organizer, and leftover containers at eye level so you can easily take an inventory.
