Homemade Cleaner for Your Refrigerator

Keeping your refrigerator clean and organized doesn't have to take a long time, and you don't need any fancy products to do it. In fact, many commercial cleaners contain non-FDA-approved chemicals which are harmful to the health of you and your family – even the ones that say “all natural”!

If you are looking for a quick, easy, and organic way to keep your refrigerator neat and free from odors and bacteria, just follow these steps:

1. Mix the following in a spray bottle:

• 2 cups hot water
• 1 cup white vinegar
• 10 drops of your favorite essential oil

2. Turn the refrigerator off, or turn the temperature all the way up. This will help you save energy during the process.

3. Take out everything from the inside of the refrigerator. This includes your food and drinks as well as any removable shelves and drawers.

4. Clean the shelves and drawers with dish soap and warm water under the sink. Lay out to dry.

5. Using the homemade spray, clean the interior of your refrigerator with a sponge or a cloth until all visible stains and mildew are gone. Don't forget the back wall, ceiling, and inside of the door.

6. Dry the inside of your refrigerator with a clean towel. Dry and replace the shelves and drawers. Turn the temperature back down or plug the refrigerator in.

7. Filter through your food, throwing away that which has expired. Now, organize it and restock your fridge following these guidelines.
