How often do you clean out your fridge?

[mummymummums]

Am realising I might be a bit skanky. Been to a couple of friends lately and when invited to fetch things from fridge found it sparking clean. I do clean mine fully, shelves out, etc once in a blue moon every couple of months or so, maybe less but sometimes more often. I wipe at obvious muck as needed and pull out the stuff that has mould growing on it or veg are now identifiable is out of date more often. AIBU? Preparing to be flamed for this....

Every week before I shop

Probably every 2 months a proper clean, give it a quick wipe around every week or so, and any spills obviously get wiped up straight away.

realises that no-one will ever be able to check Absolutely! Me too. Every week.

Every week before online shop arrives and a deep clean every few months.

I used to do it once a month and it was yucky. Now I do it continuously ifyswim, 15 mins here and there, a couple of shelves one day, veg box the next, 3min food chuck at another time, so now it never needs a major scrub out iyswim, is always pretty clean, it and I don't dread doing it!

Our help gives our fridge the once over each week.

As long as it's not making you retch when you open the door I would say you're OK.

Not often enough (scuttles off to clean fridge).

I also clean mine every week before my shopping arrives.

Every week before I go for groceries

Less often than you. I'm currently in the process of (very slowly) running down the freezer bit to buy a new one, so it doesn't seem worth bothering with now.

Every week before the new shopping goes in, and obviously wipe down shelves that have had any raw meat or spills in between

Every couple of months.

No more than once a year. No one died yet.

Every week same as the oven, microwave and the kitchen bin gets washed out.

Once a week before the shopping arrives by my cleaner.

If I see any obvious spillage (always leaky beetroot!!) I wipe it straight away.

Almost never. Funnily enough I did it this week though.

When we move house, or whenever my mum takes it upon herself to do it. She visits about every 4 months.

Once a weekish before the shop.

I have fridge freezer my fridge has 3 shelves and drawer at bottom. Every Thursday evening I go through it whatever's not edible gets thrown I wipe the shelves and wash the drawer (where I keep salad and things so often needs doing) every month I give it a good clean while my stuff sets on the oven

Whenever it starts to smell/has anything dodgy growing. I should probably do it more.

I clean it out weekly - as in chuck anything away that's out of date before the shopping arrives. But I only clean it once every four months or so! Tbh I don't think it needs it that much more often as we wipe up any spills as we go. When I wasn't working I did it every week!

1 a month deep clean

Not at often as I should. It's a pain in the ass to clean as its all moulded plastic with loads of places for grime to hide. My mum's has lovely flat glass selves and looks easy to clean but mine takes forever.

Every week before the shopping arrives.
