Is cleaning and organising the fridge your least favourite chore? We have scoured the internet for the best tips and tricks to help you stay on top of your fridge situation; here are six of our favourites.<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0\u00a0 Clean your fridge religiously<\/h2>\n

Exactly what you didn\u2019t want to hear, right? To keep your refrigerator in tip-top condition, you need to keep it clean so it can function properly. And the more often you do it, the less effort is involved. If you only clean it out once or twice a year, you might find it has to work harder to keep things cool. Having a shelf full of expired products that you\u2019ll never be able to use is a waste of space and energy. Do a basic clean just once a month, and you\u2019ll find your fridge functions better, and looks much more inviting!<\/p>\n

Tip: Using a food-safe solution to wipe your fridge out regularly is a good idea. Try a commercial product like Vanilla Fresh (or mix up your own <\/em>DIY solution<\/em><\/a>); it\u2019ll tidy up surfaces and deodorise things\u00a0nicely.<\/em><\/p>\n

2.\u00a0\u00a0 Sort your fridge with baskets<\/h2>\n

Using small baskets to sort different products on shelves and in doors (and even in the freezer) is an awesome way to get some organisation going in your refrigerator.\u00a0 Not only will using baskets help you sort the contents of your fridge, but the base of the basket also acts as a protectant layer to capture any spills or food mess; instead of having to clean a whole shelf when the milk leaks, you can just clean the basket. You could even have a basket for nutritious snacks to help keep you on track with a healthy eating plan.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0\u00a0 Label everything<\/h2>\n

Using labels on baskets, shelves, doors, and drawers is an excellent way to achieve fridge utopia! Labelling by product category, meal type or by \u2018use by\u2019 date are popular fridge organisation ideas. You can do this in your refrigerator, freezer and pantry!<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0\u00a0 Put things in the right spot<\/h2>\n

You can actually optimise the shelf life of your refrigerator contents by storing products in the best spot possible. Squawkfox<\/a> has a fantastic guide on what to store where in your refrigerator. For example, don\u2019t store milk in the fridge door because the temperature fluctuates too much. Instead, store it on a middle shelf.<\/p>\n

5.\u00a0\u00a0 Keep a list of the contents on the\u00a0door<\/h2>\n

What smarter way to shop than having a full view of what you do and don\u2019t have? Make use of the space on your outer fridge door by keeping an inventory of what you\u2019ve got and what you need. Some popular ideas include using magnetic shopping lists, whiteboard markers, or even painting the door with blackboard paint.<\/p>\n

6. \u00a0Use a Lazy Susan<\/h2>\n

What a brilliant idea; a spinning mini shelf in your refrigerator! By using a Lazy Susan to organise your condiments and canned and jarred items, you can easily see and reach what you\u2019ve got available to top your gourmet sandwich with.<\/p>\n
