It doesn’t take long for an assortment of veggies, condiments, and leftovers to accumulate in the fridge. If you’ve been postponing cleaning out your refrigerator, this November 15 offers an idyllic opportunity to finally do so. Rumor has it that appliance service Whirlpool® designated National Clean Out Your Refrigerator Day in 1999, but regardless of the holiday’s origins, it’s an excellent idea. The following guide explains the importance of cleaning out your fridge on a regular basis and how to do it.

Why Clean Out Your Fridge?

Appliance service experts recommend deep cleaning your fridge at least once per season. While you should wipe up any messes and remove old food at least once per week, an in-depth, thorough clean once per season will help combat the accumulation of potentially harmful bacteria and germs. It can also help combat any foul odors. Mistakenly eating old food left in the fridge too long can also lead to food poisoning, which no one wants to suffer through.

Cleaning out the fridge before Thanksgiving will also free up plenty of space for turkey, stuffing, pie, and other holiday treats.

How Should You Do It?

Many appliance service professionals recommend deep-cleaning your fridge with hot water and a mild dishwashing liquid. Never use harsh chemicals or cleaning agents on your fridge since these substances may spread to the food that you consume, which can make you sick.  

When deep cleaning your fridge, take everything out and get rid of any spoiled or expired foods. Then, wipe down all bottles, jars, and containers. In addition to the shelves, scrub deeply in any cracks and crevices to remove accumulated crumbs and grime. Finally, use a clean microfiber cloth to dry every surface.
