National Clean Out Your Refrigerator Day was cooked up by
the home economists at Whirlpool Home Appliances in 1999. They created the holiday – which always falls
on November 15 – to encourage their customers to clean out their refrigerators
in advance of the upcoming holidays. Celebrating it is simple and very
rewarding. First, take EVERYTHING out of your fridge and discard anything
suspicious. Wipe the interior surfaces with a baking soda/water solution. Remove
and wash drawers. Vacuum the condenser coils, the floor beneath your fridge and
the wall behind it. If your fridge has an ice/water dispenser, now is a good
time to replace the filter. Restock your fridge with the food you didn’t toss.
Be sure to wipe the bottoms of catsup bottles, milk cartons, etc. so you don’t
soil your freshly cleaned shelves. Place an open box of baking soda in the back
of your fridge to eliminate unpleasant odors. Enjoy your freshly cleaned,
organized refrigerator!
