Your refrigerator is one of the hardest working appliances in your house - it is always running, and you probably really depend on it to keep your favorite foods cold. The fridge can also get really messy - in the heat of the moment, it's easy to ignore a ring from a bottle of juice or some dried old scraps of onion skin. So, I try to make an effort to completely clean our fridge twice a year. It doesn't have to be scary and it doesn't have to be hard. Here is how to clean your fridge in 5 easy steps.

How to clean your fridge (in 5 easy steps)

  1. Take everything out - yes, even the stuff in the back corners!
  2. Trash anything that is old, expired, or that you just won't eat -
  3. Group like items - sauces with sauces, veggies with veggies, etc. This will help you put things back in a logical way.
  4. Use a sponge to wipe down all surfaces - Scotch-Brite® Non-Scratch Scrub Dots Sponges won't scratch your glass shelves.
  5. Refill the fridge - put everything back mindfully for a fresh fridge!

We cleaned our fridge thoroughly thanks to Scotch-Brite® Non-Scratch Scrub Dots Sponges, which scrub fast and rinse clean.

I purchased the Scotch-Brite® Non-Scratch Scrub Dots Sponges at my local Walmart. The product features Scrubbing Dots technology, which allow the sponges to rinse clean. Scotch-Brite® Scrub Dots scrubs away kitchen messes fast.
