Thursday Cleaning Challenge - Clean out that fridge

by kellys on May 15th, 2008

It’s Thursday again.  I want to start by saying welcome to Thrifty Mommy.  We are so glad to have you here.  I would love to introduce you to a new series we are doing at Thrifty Mommy, the Thursday Cleaning Challenge.  I want to challenge you today to clean out your fridge.  I don’t mean just empty out those containers.  Here are the things you need to do.  It won’t take you too long.  Set aside about 30 minutes and you will feel so much better later.

  • Take out each shelf and clean it.
  • Wipe down the inside of the inside walls.
  • Check the date on all your dated foods.  Throw away the old stuff.
  • Wipe out your drawers.
  • Wipe the outside and sweep underneath as far as you can.
  • Don’t forget the top.  Get out a stool and wipe the top of your fridge down.

I know the flyladies would not be happy that it takes longer than 15 minutes so break it down if you have to.  Do half the shelves and the outside today and the rest of the shelves and the top tomorrow.

See you later,

    long story short…
    …I did this…didn’t think I had time to do it, but I did it! Am I ever glad I did. I had a hardly used bottle of mayo in my fridge that expired 8/07!!!! How is that even possible…I just opened it!! The only thing I can think of is that it got pushed to the back of my pantry/stables cupboard. I am so glad I checked dates…how horrible! I thought I was cleaning out my grandma’s fridge. Maybe my next step…checking the items in my pantry! PLEASE don’t make me do that task too soon! ;)

    Just an idea that I want to add…I updated my baking soda boxes as well.
