30-Day Organize-athon | Day 20: Organize Your Fridge

30-Day Organize-athon 20

Welcome to the 30-Day Organize-athon!

In today’s 5 minutes we’re going to express-organize your fridge.

Let’s go!

Day 20: Organize Your Fridge

Step 1: Grab a bag and open your fridge. Quickly scanning your shelves from top to bottom, toss into the bag anything that:

  • Has passed its use-by date
  • Has wilted, sprouted, or smells funky
  • No-one eats.

Step 2: Quickly wipe down the shelves (work around the remaining items).

Step 3: Do a quick tidy of the remaining items in your fridge.

And you’re done!

Got an Extra 5 Minutes?

Let’s freshen up the freezer:

  1. Scan your freezer and discard anything ancient, expired or of unknown provenance.
  2. Quickly wipe down the shelves or drawers.
  3. Do a quick tidy of the remaining items in your freezer.

Tomorrow we’ll declutter your pantry.

    This one had already been started, but spent time cleaning out the neglected shelves in the door. I like Jamie’s idea of the paper towels in the crisper drawer. I put a box of baking soda in the fridge to help with odors.

    Already started on the pantry yesterday.

    I had it perfectly organized yesterday! I emptied it ALL out, washed it and put it all in neatly…now it has to go back to ‘looking’ unorganized for a few days, because we have company coming and I need to FILL it with groceries!

  3. Amanda says:

    Done yesterday, because we’re going away tonight for Spring Break. Have a wonderful holiday!

  4. Liss says:

    Another idea: whenever we go away for the weekend or whatever I always clean out my fridge. I discard AND mop down the shelves because I’m emptying the fridge for going out of town and it’s nice and empty. 🙂
