Beautiful Home Organizing Challenge: How To Organize Your Kitchen

Beautiful Home Organizing Challenge: How To Organize Your Fridge

Fridge organization- check! Another space done on our organizing challenge!

As usual, I broke this process up into a few different steps. Step one-cleaning and purging. This definitely was the longest part of this particular organizing challenge because my fridge needed it badly. I had a ton of expired food that was taking up space as well as lots of crumbs, dried spills, and crustiness throughout. Really the only things I used were Mr. Clean spray cleaner (you can sub in any spray cleaner for this though), Dawn, a MAGIC ERASER, and a vacuum. It definitely helped to remove EVERYTHING from the fridge for me so I could really clean all the nooks and crannies. This also allowed me to scrub shelves and drawers in the sink.

Step by Step Plan for an Organized Home: Week 2 | Fridge

    After a little break, it's time to resume our organizing challenge!  You can catch up on week 1 (kitchen cabinets) here.  This week we will be focusing on one of my favorite hobbies organizing the fridge!  Now I admit this is truly taking it to another level and may not be for everyone, but I promise it is not a difficult thing to keep up with!  I also think it has more benefits than just aesthetics, as you can keep better track of what you have in the fridge and (hopefully) be encouraged to make better choices when snacking and ultimately waste less food.  There are two major steps to getting started: 1. a deep clean on the entire fridge, and 2. the organizing phase.  I've also linked up all my favorite must-have products to get you started at the end of this post (crates, dividers, bins, etc.).  Let's get started- find all my tips + tricks below!
