I clean the fridge and freezers out every week, rotate the stock etc. Dishwash the fridge shelves and racks. My mum and DH think this is ridiculous and that I am obsessed with it.

I should say that I used to be a pastry chef in a 5* hotel and we stripped and cleaned our service fridge and rotated the stock daily so my clean-fridge obsession is probably a hangover from that. I am rather Monica about the house which again stems from 10 years in luxury hotels.

AIBU clean freaky ?

I moved int my house 10 months ago and have cleaned the fridge once... but I do regularly clear out old food.

Freak.

But admirably so.

BariatricObama · 31/03/2010 11:26

that does sound excessive

minipie · 31/03/2010 11:26

Rotating food so you remember to eat the older stuff is just sensible. The weekly cleaning is ... erm ... unusual.

ShinyAndNew · 31/03/2010 11:26

Mil? Is that you?

I clean my fridge when I notive it is looking grimy or getting a bit stinky which is approx every 6 weeks or so, unless I defrost fish in there.

DaftApeth · 31/03/2010 11:26

Yabu clean freaky

drloves8 · 31/03/2010 11:27

no , id say your normal..... you are supposed to clean your fridge/freezer ,they are a breeding ground for bacteria if theyre left. can you imagine how bad a fridge would smell if it was never cleaned?

yankbabymum · 31/03/2010 11:27

Yes, your training has turned you into a clean freak! but far better to be super clean than to never clean the fridge at all

ChickensHaveSinisterMotives · 31/03/2010 11:27

Yeah, you are a bit freaky. However, I am a slattern. I clean my fridge when something spills. Maybe.

BritFish · 31/03/2010 11:27

Every week is very regularly! I think you could afford to cut it down!

MitchyInge · 31/03/2010 11:28

drloves8 · 31/03/2010 11:29

everyone who says op is clean freeky is a dirty slattern and you should all be ashamed ! . go do some housework you mingers.

OrmRenewed · 31/03/2010 11:29

Clean the freezer?

Do people do that then?

brockleybelle · 31/03/2010 11:29

I'm most impressed and full of envy you have a dishwasher to take care of such a laborious job - i try to avoid taking out the racks etc as they are such a pain to clean in the sink as they're so big.

winnybella · 31/03/2010 11:30

You're freaky.

Did you say you CLEAN the freezer every week?
Like, you actually defrost?

Poledra · 31/03/2010 11:30

Can't. Am at work

Chickens, I think I probably have more in common with you than the OP - will you be my friend? We could drink wine and have dirty fridges together.

ShinyAndNew · 31/03/2010 11:31

I didn't notice the freezer bit. No I only clean my freezer once there is too much ice to be able to fit any food in there

megapixels · 31/03/2010 11:31

No they are not dirty. You're a freak! Wish I had some of your drive.
