Cleaning the Fridge
The refrigerator is one of those appliances that I neglect cleaning. We’ve been living in this apartment for almost a year and a half, and I have managed to turn a blind eye to the steady accumulation of grime. Other chores are always taking precedence in the pecking order of cleaning.
Last week I bantered on Facebook about cleaning the fridge, and it finally got me moving. “I can do this,” I thought. The vegetable bins on the bottom were the worst, so I started there. It was actually pretty easy to take them out, sort through what to keep and what to toss. Then I sprinkled baking soda in them and gave them a good scrub. Triumph. That was day one.
The next day I did the inside of the door, cleaning the sticky grime off of each of the shelves. My husband was impressed by my effort. He works at home and appreciates a clean environment, especially in the kitchen.
It only took one more day to clean the remaining shelves in the main part of the fridge. It felt good to toss all the outdated foods and get the remaining stuff organized. And I even found a bag of Lindt Truffles that had been lanquishing in the back of the middle shelf.
Next project: the bathtub.
