How often ......

i had that happen with pickled eggs and beets. i made them before bed and the next morning got up to a frig that stunk so bad of beet juice and vinger. i do the once a week thing too. it makes it so much easier. if you wait you really need to scub but doing it weekly really all i have to do is spray and wipe down.

Oh my -- I probably only do this every six months or so! I know I should do it more often, but I don't. When I do I tend to find lots of interesting things, such as foods so old they are growing their own colony. Needless to say, I usually get a little sickened immediately after this! Would someone like to come clean my fridge?? PLEASE?! :D

I do a thorough cleaning maybe 3 - 4 times a year, but I keep spills wiped up and swipe at the shelves whenever I see there's something on them. Whenever there's a spill, I pull the crispers out and clean the bottom and empty and wash them.

I am a little ashamed to admit it. I haven't done it in so long I don't remember. It usually happens when I have a major spill. I really should do it. Maybe this weekend or when h*ll freezes over....

The fridge gets a real once over every couple of months but it gets the weekly scrub too! I hate it when things drip (usually from the top of the fridge) and it usually something wonderfully sticky so that everything is contaminated with it. I had that with an OJ carton, it drove me mad. I could see that something was dripping but I couldn't find it and then, there it was, coagulating at the top of the crisper drawers.. .groan. I had a wonderful wooden salad bowl and I loved it. One day I made a huge salad and as we didn't finish it I covered it with cling-film and put it in the fridge. Next day the bottom of the fridge was covered with balsamic vinegar... I had to throw the lovely bowl away :( As you say, it is at times like these that you realise you have bought tons of things which you haven't used and that they are now stuck at the bottom of the crisper units. I HATE having to chuck things away.

I should clean mine out more then i do.I try to do this at least 2 times per month maybe 3 if i think it needs it.It would be a lot easier to clean if i did start cleaning it every week.I want the area where I store my food clean.I just cleaned my fridge one day and put a thing of tea in it and the thing dripped.I had to go back and reclean it all over.So I know how you feel...

I just bought a new refrigerator, because my old one decided that it didn't want to be cold anymore, and started blowing hot air. LOL So now it's all pretty and organized. I do try to wipe it out completely every 2 weeks or so. If something spills i clean it immediately.

Now that is a job I hate doing and try to put it off for as long as possible! but I do clean it out at least every week.
