Have 10 Minutes? Clean Your Refrigerator

Isn't it amazing how a refrigerator can collect so much nasty hair, dust, and other grossness, considering it's "closed off" from everything? I'll admit...I'm a clean freak. Not as much as I used to be, but, for example, I always make sure that food products don't get nasty around their lids/openings. If they do, I promptly clean whatever it is up. I don't like stickiness or grime.

But anyways...my refrigerator was looking a bit grungy. Spilled food hidden under containers, hair/dust under the crisper drawers, stickiness all around. It was time to take 10 minutes to wipe everything down and throw out the old food (which surprisingly there wasn't much of this time around).

Now, before you say/think, "that doesn't look that bad", I'm not going to take pictures of all of the grossness going on in there. Those aren't pictures I want on my blog. The one before picture below is not the worst of it, it was the least-gross example I could show.

So I literally just took 10 minutes to clear off the shelves on the door and wipe them down. I didn't see any gunk on the wire racks, so I didn't clean them. I wiped down the bottom shelf and took out the drawers to clean underneath. I also wiped the rubber seal (around the door frame) to clean out the crumbs that had collected in the fold. Super quick and easy.

Since it can be easily forgotten about, take 10 minutes to go and clean your fridge today. =]
