How often do you clean your fridge?

Just done mine. Had it all out, cleaned it and put it all back. I am pretty good at not having mouldy or out of date stuff in there, but I clean is maybe 2x a year?

My DM does hers EVERY time she goes shopping and refills the fridge. I am exhausted at the thought of doing that.

Yeah, I just had to do that with my food for more than 2 hours due to ice build upin fridge. I googled my problem and it mentioned the drainage hole might be blocked so had to wait for complete defrosting and then use a drain snake. Alarmingly it did pull out some black stuff. Where the hell did that come from? I've been checking the cost of a new one but don't want to spend out even though this one is over 16 years old.

Once a week. Before I do my online shop I take everything out, ditch anything out of date (I try not to have anything out of date but it happens!) then clean it ready for the delivery.

It amazes me that people will bleach and sanitise their loos, a place in which all they do is have a poo and flush it away and the nearest your body gets to it is your bottom sitting on the seat yet the fridge, which is a hotbed of potential cross contamination and the contents of which you regularly eat without further cooking, doesn't get a second thought.
Everything’s wrapped. It’s only a cold cupboard when all said and done. 🤷‍♀️

I fully clean mine every couple of weeks with wipe downs in between.
It doesn't take me long to clean it really properly. Everyone goes in the dishwasher and wiping down the exterior and seals doesn't take a moment. I like it being good and clean.
I clean my dishwasher about once a month too 😅
