Fridge organizers make everything look so neat. This is much better than randomly placing your food items anywhere.
The other benefit is that they help to hold spills. If you have something that might cause spills and contaminations like raw meat, you should have a specific container instead of putting it directly on the shelves.
When you're choosing organizers, go for square or rectangular shapes that won't take so much unnecessary space.
Use baking soda to absorb odourWhen different food scents combine in the fridge, there is a likelihood of odours. This mostly happens if you have a lot of leftovers in there or foods that just have a strong smell.
To help tame the odour, you should place an open bowl of baking soda at the back. Baking soda is safe and it can help deodorize your fridge. Remember to replace it after three months to maintain that freshness.
It's not recommended that you use harsh products like bleach that could easily contaminate your food. What you can go for is white vinegar because it's good at lifting grime and it can act as a safe disinfectant.
Mix a bit of vinegar and warm water then wipe down every corner. This is will keep away bacteria and fungi that often thrive in the fridge.
Brush the gasket with a toothbrushThe gasket is the rubber lining that is found on your fridge and freezer door. This lining can be very hard to properly clean with a cloth or sponge because of the stubborn mould that accumulates there.
To get rid of all the dirt and mould, you can use a soft toothbrush. A paste made of warm water and baking soda usually gets the job done well.
Take note when cleaning this lining. You must be gentle. It's quite delicate and might be expensive to replace.
