How to organize your refrigerator

Schedule An Appointment

Are leftovers occupying too much space in your refrigerator? Or do you have to hunt for mayonnaise every time you open the fridge? Or do you keep wondering where you put the cheese last night? If that’s the case, then it’s time you start managing your food storage space in your refrigerator. Here are a few tips to organize your refrigerator for good.

Clean The Gasket

If the refrigerator door doesn’t have a tight enough seal, you must clean any debris or dirt off the gasket. This may save you the expense of replacing a new gasket.

Take Everything Out

Before organizing your refrigerator, be sure to take everything out. Throw away any leftovers, expired products, and items that are no longer needed. Now, you can start the cleaning process. Here’s what you can do – take vinegar and mix it with water, grab a sponge and start cleaning your fridge inside and out.

Line up your shelves with mats

Use easy-to-clean mats to cover your shelves. Simply wipe them if they get stained or just take them off and toss them out. This is a foolproof way to keep your refrigerator preen and tidy.

Choose The Ideal Storage For Everything

After cleaning the refrigerator, decide how you will put everything back. If your refrigerator has particular spots for certain things, use them well! For instance, meat, cheese, and yogurt should be kept in the coldest spot in your fridge, and eggs in their original container, etc.

Take Care Of Visibility

Make sure you can access all the items in your fridge conveniently. To do this, it is smart to place the tallest items in the deepest areas and the smaller products in the front.

Bins work in the freezer as well as in the fridge

Get some bins to fit on your refrigerator shelves. Now organizing things like snacks and drinks will be really simple!

Get rid of funky smell

Have you had an issue with fridge odor before? This time, make sure to keep an open box of baking soda on one of the shelves. The baking soda will soak up all the foul smell, and you won’t need to replace it often.

Manage expiration dates

Mark all items with their expiration dates, so that you can eat them before they go sour. You can even plan specific days just for leftovers. Create a magnet board on the refrigerator for the food items having expiration dates. You can track those dates and enjoy your food before they expire.

Last but not least, keep your refrigerator organized so that you won’t have to deal with a big mess every few months.
