When did you last clean your fridge?

I mean a take everything out and wash all the shelves etc type of clean? I've just done mine and am ashamed to say that I actually can't remember the last time I did it previously, it was certainly months ago. Most of what we eat is in there and I feel rather disgusted with myself. Am I alone in being a fridge minger?

Never. My DH does it and does it fairly regularly.

Ohflippinheck · 31/07/2016 11:40

Just done it this morning Halo
It's been about 2/3months since last time and it was a bit gross but I don't feel too bad about it. All the food in there is covered and doesn't touch any surfaces and I do regularly chuck out the floppy veg.
We're all still alive anyway!

Properly...twice a year just before my parents come to stay Blush My poor deluded mother must think it's that way all year round.

Other than that, an occasional once-over with some baby wipes.

I did once find a startled scorpion in the veg drawer so slammed it shut and didn't open it again for a week Grin

I did it on Friday. It's lovely!

My clean freak mum puts folded kitchen paper in the bottom of the shelves to soak up the inevitable milky leaks etc. I tried it but it's not that helpful if you leave the paper in there for weeks and that ends up just as hungry as your shelves would have been Blush

i clean the shelves and take them out and inside of the door once a week. the bottom draw where the vegtables go gets cleaned twice a week.

Every week, there's barely anything in the fridge so it makes life easier!

Umm... I wouldn't like to say Blush

But now that I've been reminded!

WellWhoKnew · 31/07/2016 12:25

In about three hours' time. 'Cos I'm moving house!

littleprincesssara · 31/07/2016 12:36

I do it about once a month.

Olddear · 31/07/2016 12:38

Last Thursday.

PirateFairy45 · 31/07/2016 12:44

I clean mine fully once a month, inside and out.

Wipe down once a week before the big food shop.

Any spills get cleaned up between that.

KittyKrap · 31/07/2016 12:45

Last week. Those bags of mozzarella in water? Yep. They explode if they're beyond the due date and hidden behind something Blush

Daytona79 · 31/07/2016 12:45

I clean my fortnightly

IJustAteTheKidsFoodAgain · 31/07/2016 12:50

When I remember - every month or two my freezer can't take anymore though. I've defrosted it once in the three years we've lived here and the top compartment is just a block of ice. My answer? I bought another freezer which I will also probably never clear out Blush

SteviebunsBottrittrundle · 31/07/2016 12:54

I haven't done mine for at least 6 months which is probably really horrible isn't it? We had a spilled juice incident just now though so I am having to do it today. I probably would have just done the bits I had to if I hadn't seen this thread though Blush.
