How often do you clean your fridge out?

[schneebly]

I mean stripping the whole thing and washing it? I did it yesterday for the first time in..er..I wouldn't like to say how long.

Every 6 months.

when it needs it ..but I noticed it seems to have cleaned itself sometinme in the last week

Every 3 months.

When it needs it but yes it is usually months between cleans.

Probably as often as my over which was, well ..........Christmas maybe.

I do tidy it up a bit every week before the big shop gets put away though.

oven

goodness what a question. As rarely as I can get away with of course.
It needs doing at the moment - weve been in our flat for 6 weeks.

Mine hadnt been done for about 8 months and there was some pickle spilled at the back which had gone a bit..er..furry. I am disgusted with myself! I felt sick the whole tme I was cleaning the damn thing!

My dh was whinging about hte state of the fridge so I said he should bloody do it himself. So now mine is done once a week

Every week. The day the bins get emptied, it's just easier to chuck the bad stuff out then. Or if I've just done a huge shop and need to pack the fridge with loads of food.

Nightynight -did you get my fluffy email?

Apols for hijacking housekeeping thread

I do it once a week

better add that I almost never clean out my kitchen cupboards though - maybe twice a year...

Every 3-4 months

The full-monty (emptying out and cleaning down everything with bleach) about every 6 weeks. Other than that, just chuck all the old stuff out when trying to put new stuff away.

Once a year.

oh pruni - I am so glad you said that! At least I am not the only manky cow!

Almost never. However, I DO clean it more than my oven, which I only cleaned once in 11 years. I now have a new cooker, and like it so much I have ALREADY cleaned out the oven even though it's only a couple of months old.

I only clean it if something spills everywhere - did it last week cos a bottle of milk had leaked, before that was when I was heavily pregnant with DD... so 14 months ago!

I think I have done it 3 times and I have lived here 5 years! Is that minging?

every month

proper take it all out and wash all the bits in hot water etc etc...possibly annually ( not scheduled!!! Just ad hoc...!)
slapdash wipe here and there...when I notice the spreading mysterious sticky yellow satin at the same time as having a damp cloth near by...

and by satin clearly I meant stain...i do not keep rolls of fabric in my fridge...

We've lived here 3 years and I haven't defrosted it once . Just clean any spills or manky bits as and when they arise.
