You’re doing it wrong if you store milk in the door. Best practice is to wash and cut when you’re ready to consume it. Thing is, chopped-up produce will deteriorate faster since more surface area is exposed. We know a lot of people recommend washing and cutting fruits and vegetables before storing in the refrigerator to encourage healthy snacking. Pre-cut fruits and vegetables at your own risk. Best practice is to aim for a fridge that’s two-thirds full. That said, if your fridge is nearly empty, consider stocking it with a few bottles of water, which when chilled, helps the appliance maintain cool temperatures. Filling every inch of your fridge can lead to forgotten foods, blocked air vents, impeded air flow, and reduced energy efficiency. If you worry about something falling out every time you open the refrigerator door, you need to declutter-and not just because you may be a food hoarder. An empty fridge is bad, an overfilled one even worse. My fridge wasn’t a place to store food it was where food went to die and be forgotten.Īfter that day, I decided to educate myself on how to maintain an orderly and clean refrigerator so that it can efficiently do its job of keeping food fresh.
But then one day, I decided to deep-clean the appliance-and I was rattled by the level of filth and the number of past-expiration foodstuffs I encountered in there. What happens in the fridge, stays in the fridge was my motto. The refrigerator, though, was an area that never made my weekly cleaning routine. As a kid, I used to clean and organize for fun, and as an adult, I find peace and satisfaction from keeping a tidy home.
