Did you know that you actually have to deep clean your fridge at every three months? In case you need a bit of help, interior designer Sharrah Stevens of The Kinwoven Home shares a few simple and practical tips on how you can keep food items organized:
Purge
Get rid of expired items, dried-up veggies, and half-eaten sauces that have been in your ridge for ages. RL Tip: The next time you shop for food items, make sure that you’re really buying things that you’ll constantly use and finish to lessen wastage.
Add a shelf liner
Shelf liners or fridge mats are a great way to avoid having containers slip for whatever reason. They also protect your shelves from spills and stains, and they’re pretty easy to clean and replace.
Use containers to organize contents
Out of sight, out of mind, which is why you should opt for clear containers so that you can easily see what’s inside.
