Brilliant Hacks to Keep Your Fridge Organized & Clean

There is nothing more frustrating than coming back home to a disorganised and dirty fridge after a long, tiring day at work. And especially when you are scouring your fridge for a yummy snack to munch on! An empty fridge is bad and an overfilled one even worse. If you sort out your fridge, grocery shopping becomes way more efficient, with less food waste and unpleasant smells. Read some these fridge organisation ideas on how to maintain a tidy and clean refrigerator so that it can do its job of keeping food fresh.

1.. Label everything

Whether you're packing up a leftover salad in a food storage container, cut veggies in a zip-top bag, or wrapping a block of cheese in foil, make sure to label it and write both the name of what it is and the date of storage. You can also label your shelves in the fridge and on the doors. Not only does it make putting things away easier, but you'll be able to find things a lot quicker.

2.. Use baskets

Purchase inexpensive, brightly coloured refrigerator organisation bins and buckets from your local stores to store food in. It makes organisational sense to keep certain items together in boxes, so you know where everything is.

3.. Line your fridge shelves

Cut placemats, cling film or plastic wrap down to size and place them on fridge shelves. So if there are any spills and messes, you only need to remove and dispose of the liner, rather than struggling to wipe out the entire fridge.

4.. Create hanging storage to create more space

Use binder clips as hooks to hang zip lock bags on to the rack. It also keeps your bags closed when you've opened and partially used a bag.

5.. Always have baking soda in your fridge

Store an opened box of baking soda in your refrigerator and freezer to help eliminate odours. Just remember, you should not cook with that same baking soda that has been used to neutralise nasty smells.

6.. Make an "Eat Me First" box for about-to-expire foods

Label "Eat Me First" onto a box and place anything inside it that is nearing its expiration date. This refrigerator organisation hack will reduce food waste and save money in the long run.
