*epic* FRIDGE TRANSFORMATION! Messy To Minimal FRIDGE ORGANIZATION Extreme Declutter MOTIVATION

[@emilyp7159]

THE INFOMERCIAL 😂😂 Natalie, you’re amazing. Thanks for always being a joy in my week 💖💖

[@NatalieBennett]

I'm so glad you enjoy my videos. Thanks so much for watching!!!

[@wendyhowell4119]

Oh my gosh, Weston singing 'Drip Drip Drop Little April Showers" from Bambi, in the background at 10:48. :D

[@NatalieBennett]

He's such a goof 😜

[@Isna4727]

I love that your videos show a real lived in home, not a perfectly cleaned home with clutter hidden in areas we never will see. Love from WI

[@cindyarnold]

Oh, Natalie! You inspired me to clean my fridge. It takes a lot to inspire me, too. One drawer (deli) left to do tomorrow as I can hardly walk. But, it feels so good to have every shelf scrubbed, and out dated, old or just not used things gone. Three kitchen trash bags off to trash collection. My poor husband of 53 years, couldn’t see exactly how much was in there so he kept on shopping each week for our family of four adults (two children w/disabilities) and everyone has favorite foods. 16 pounds of butter (going to freeze half), 4 1/2 gallons of milk (we only live a mile from a small market), so I’m hoping we can make some shopping changes. But, I washed all the fruit and put it in storage containers so we have raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, cherries, green grapes, nectarines, peaches and apples all ready to locate easily and eat. Even changed the water filter, always a big deal. Thank you.

[@rachaelmcintyre3951]

I love how real and honest you are Natalie. Definitly one of my favourite KZbin'rs ♡ 🥦

[@noniehadley899]

I also meant to say ... that I watched some Korean videos on prepping food and arranging food in the fridge and freezer - I'm a senior and some of their ideas were an eye opener for me ! a few weeks ago I stole some of their ideas and I'm so glad to say the fridge and freezer still look amazing !!!

[@katefriedrich4774]

The part with the infomercial made me laugh so hard that I spilled my coffee. I just didn't expect something like this. And you're right, that's exactly what it looked like. :D

[@marvelous12011]

I love your videos. I have been watching you for over 2 weeks now. Your videos have motivated me and gave me much energy to do my “spring cleaning” and i love how you start your day with God which i have been starting to do as well, as soon as my son leaves for school.❤️❤️❤️

[@trinaolson6072]

this was so satisfying to watch! thank you for sharing your process.

[@rainkatt]

Don't know if anyone has mentioned it, but (I am also a condiment junkie!) you have several items that are in your fridge that don't require refrigeration i.e. ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco, most hot sauces too....there, that is a whole shelf available!

[@carolines3953]

🥦 Love a good fridge clean out. I try to do it quarterly (pull out everything, wipe down) and tidy it weekly when I’m checking it for my grocery list. It’s great for minimizing food waste too.

[@natashayousif6340]

Natalie! You're just a super amazing person, and I am so happy that I found your channel! I don't have kids or a family yet, but you have inspired me to get organized and live more minimally. Also, a tip I learned from Jamie's Journey on KZbin for cleaning fridge bins and shelves: fill your clean bathtub with hot water and dawn dish soap, then let them soak in there for 15-20 min! It works wonders and should seep onto the crack of your produce drawer enough to clean it out. Best wishes to you and your beautiful family!

[@carolinemiller4748]

We finally cleaned our entire apartment yesterday, all thanks to you! Your videos have helped me finally deep cleaning things that needed to be deep cleaned and organize some chaotic areas.

[@homemakingwithmarissa]

Love this series! So motivating to get in there and clean the messy areas of my house!

[@ashleyreed3865]

🥦I pre cut my carrots and celery and keep them in old pickle jars in water, they last all week and are ready to eat. AND could you do a video on your diet? I am doing intermittent fasting with more of a while food diet but need to think about gut health too.

[@eileenlester4342]

Me too.

[@colleenashcraft5723]

Yes I would love to about diet to improve gut health.

[@crystaljames2712]

Your videos do it to me everytime! Going to clean/organize the fridge now🤣 thanks for the motivation!

[@Christine4life]

I'm a condiment hoarder!!!!! I also love how you organize the fridge freezer and I'm thing about purchasing the veggie crisper containers because usually its the veggies that go bad and the big money waster in our fridge at home. I also use the fridge freshener (attached on the side with the suction cup). One piece of advice I can give is to write the date you finish cleaning the fridge on it. Those usually have to be changed every 30 days to keep the fridge smelling good. If you don't have one, I sometimes use a disposable cup with baking soda and just leave it in the back of the fridge (I write the date on that too).

[@shameenathittayil7176]

I did this every month then I get some positive vibe when I open the fridge

[@rahemrahem]

Carrots keep really well in water. Even if you forget them and they go soft, putting them in water gets them crisp and fresh again.

[@Isabel_fit]

So soak them in water in the fridge?

[@rahemrahem]

@@Isabel_fit Yep, you should change the water every few days, if you have them in there for long

[@Isabel_fit]

rahemrahem thank you!! I’m definitely going to try that to keep them crisp for longer!

[@eileenlester4342]

Celery and radishes too.

[@CoolChick09090]

Your fridge and freezer look awesome! I have loved this messy to minimal series!

[@mollyj9684]

This is so helpful in getting me motivated to declutter 🥦 Thank you for being so real and relatable with this series ❤️ Also, I love Alton Brown and that made me so happy 😂

[@daniellealicemay6892]

Thank you for inspiring me to clean and organize my fridge!! Needed to be done.

[@carolforest4841]

Yes!!! Someone else whi likes cold tomatoes. Great job.

[@morrisontracy]

Love this! I wonder if you move the fridge/freezer to where you had the coffee station and put the unit for the coffee station in the tight corner? 💕

[@mesoelleithy6672]

I agree ,i feel it is a better place for the fridge and will save some space

[@emilymahon8607]

I wear light knit gloves when i clean out the freezer. If there is lots of frost built up i put plastic/ neoprene gloves over top to keep warm and dry

[@jennyjenkins877]

14:15 Are you still using the OXO GreenSaver bins and did they really keep the produce fresher longer than its original packaging?

[@psymompa]

Great video. Thanks for sharing. I find that if I clean out the fridge once a week before shopping, it helps me maintain organization over the long run.

[@DanieW1228]

The editing is amazing in this one!!

[@danaa6283]

I know this video is older but I am enjoying watching your messy to minimal series! I noticed you have items in the fridge that don't have to be refrigerated.....just so you know:) I live just north of Seattle so I am in the same climate as you. Thanks for the motivation!

[@isabellagarcia5271]

🥦🥦🥦 I’ve been wanting to organize my fridge!! Thank you so much!!!❤️❤️ every time you organize something that’s the next thing I tackle, thank you for the inspiration!!🥰🥰

[@kelseykibbe7571]

Okay I just have to say....sometimes I just put on your videos while I clean, I don't really watch them while cleaning but I do go back and watch them...when I clean I'm usually cranky and your voice is so soothing and calming it usually helps me destress and calm down. So thank you ♥️

[@samanthab3292]

I went through our fridge and cleaned out everything questionable and expired, there was a smell in there and it NEEDED done. Now to scrub it and organize with you! ✨

[@sheilas1283]

You did a great job, Natalie. Cleaning the fridge ranks very, very low with me on any list of favourite things to do! 🥦

[@dannicasheehan]

I love the infomercial bit 😂😂 too funny - just found this series and I’m loving it!

[@catharinabra]

🥦 love, love, love this series! I totally need to clean out my fridge as well... 😬😬

[@fatine88]

Something I’ve found helpful is I try to clear out my fridge before each grocery haul I make (about 3 times a month) and 1 deep clean once a month. Something I’m horrible about is clearing the Tupperware. I absolutely hate doing that job.

[@zoeskarlidis8134]

I LOVE this series it has been so amazing to see the difference between the before and after! Thanks for the inspiration! Hope everyone’s families are ok! Stay Safe!

[@Tipywos]

🥦love these..loving seeing a normal family and not a staged Instagram family

[@angiesaenz-valencia8343]

🥦💚 I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS! Your background music and the serious realistic lifestyle, super grateful for your videos. I’m right behind you.. on my bathrooms now... and next will be my fridge and freezer. Yay to minimalist lifestyle! ❤️

[@averagejosephine5544]

Ugh, I feel the pain of not being able to open my fridge door fully because of being next to a wall. It makes it so difficult to clean and get larger items in and out of.

[@oliviachatfield5782]

Literally was going to clean out my fridge today! I loved it, got a lot of ideas now. 😊

[@nikitaylor3100]

Obviously late to the party here. I'm working through your series & it's amazing! The kombucha on the side is genius. I would have never thought of that and I'm excited to test it out because I literally had a kombucha explode on me the other day when I tilted it and then forgot and opened it up right away.

[@bonitaquandt4862]

Oh Natalie! First, why in the world do architects call out for a refrigerator that is slim line against a wall when one cannot fully open the refrigerator to clean it??? grrrrr.... You made the best of it! Thanks for being real about what comes out spoiled! Now that you can see everything, that should not happen as much. And, it took me much longer to figure out to use storage containers in the refrigerator to help organize. Enjoy the fruits of your labor.

[@ashliexXxriot]

The “as seen on tv” Impression was spot on 😂😂 🥦

[@austenmidland7034]

My husband constantly wants or talks about new hot sauces. One for every different type of food. I cut it off at 4😂

[@NatalieBennett]

Haha too funny! We got rid of several during our Declutter!

[@ivonafiri9269]

I clean my fridge once a week. Just before weekly grocary shop. It is almost empty so I don't have to take a bunch of food out and I see what is left to use up. Also it make me feel more motivated to put new food in neetly

[@NatalieBennett]

Ivona Firi Yes! We'll be doing it this way from now on too! So much easier!

[@LeoInAMillion]

Yes I do this too, so much more efficient 👍

[@hannahbentson9374]

I’ve loved this series so much!!! 🥦

[@callihanchaos258]

🥦 love your videos. You are so inspiring!

[@angelbary1589]

I love these videos, and your channel, and your family lol. We are also a family of five and I’ve been decluttering or trying to approach a more minimalistic view for our family and I love it! The only thing I’ve donated or gotten rid of that I wished I had kept was our box of cloth diapers besides that I’ve been so glad to pass things on.

[@larainebentley1546]

You make it real just like all of us.

[@meaghaneppenauer7244]

I love these videos so much!! It definitely motivates me to declutter my own home!! Our pantry needs it badly 😬 Thank you for sharing!! 🥦✨

[@jennygoss8811]

“Beating a tune as you fall on the ground”...one of my favorites! ❤️🦌

[@momof2forever943]

🥦 ..... I get such inspiration and motivation from this series and have been working on my own messy to minimal journey!

[@Lubinzubie]

🥦🥦🥦 absolutely love this series!

[@gingerl3146]

Good morning! Always look forward to your videos 💗

[@NatalieBennett]

Good morning! Awww thanks! I'm so glad!

[@sulmaoropeza7848]

I use 1/2 n 1/2 of white vinegar mixed with water to clean the refrigerator and freezer remember to only use what you can clean up your dishes with because that’s where food gets stored. I use clear containers like the ones you put your lemons to organize love this video

[@peanut383shoe]

🥦 love this series! I also have 3 kiddos and it’s really motivated me to have a good clear out! Xx

[@iamsoaringeagle]

Nat, I'm wondering if you've considered switching the spots that the fridge and your coffee centre live. If things would fit, it would allow you to more fully open your fridge and freezer doors. Also, after learning more about nuts, I understand that the best place to store walnuts is the freezer to keep them the freshest-tasting and avoid them going rancid..

[@HerzenHome]

I try to clean my fridge every week because having a lot of fresh veggies inside make a lot of mess! But yeah bins are a life saver for me too!

[@KrosanBeast315]

For someone like me who lives in Japanese-style House( which I designed), organization of a Fridge is critical for health and hygiene. First thing is, how many people are using it? Second thing is, what foods and drinks do you use the most? Third thing is, how much diversity do you feel you need with your ingredients or supplies? Fourth thing is, how much rotation do you go through per week or every two weeks? These four questions help decide where things go in a Fridge, how much is necessary, how much space can be allotted for ingredients, and how quickly items get consumed. If an item gets buried in a Fridge or forgotten about because it is isn't immediately visible, it can go bad quickly and cause all sorts of contamination or health problems. It is also important that if you can afford to, buy a new fridge with bins for Produce, Meats, or Dairy with moisture controls. This helps keep food fresh longer and can save hundreds to thousands of dollars a year from food not going bad too quickly or getting frozen from too much Moisture at too cold a temperature. The biggest hurdle with Fridge maintenance is keeping it CLEAN. Plastic shelf liners with grooves in them can be placed onto glass shelves so most food stains, food crumbs or debris, or liquid can be wiped off and out of the fridge. It helps keep stains from sticking to glass shelves and prevents food spills from making glass potentially stick to their frames making cleaning the undersides nearly impossible. Food Bin Liners made of paper cloth are excellent for keeping stains and debris off the bottom of the bins and staining them or having puddles of food spoil in the bins. Lastly, Clean the outside and inside of a Fridge or Bins with NATURAL or ORGANIC cleaners. You do NOT want to use any synthetic or toxic cleaners to be used inside a Fridge or Freezer.

[@elizabethrank6447]

🥦 I deep cleaned our fridge last week and the clear bins should arrive today. Thanks as always for the motivation!

[@rebeccaroussel3405]

For your produce drawer, idk if it will wkrk, but pull it out and place it in your bathtub with some hot water and bleach and some soap and hopefully after a few hours and occasional "swish swish" it can at least be cleaner/or less obvious??

[@EmmaAppleBerry]

Looks great! Totally relate my brother has so many friggen jars and bottles of sauces and therell be 3 of the same one and 2 will have like a tbsp left inside and it makes me want to pull out my hair. No matter how many times i clean organise declutter the other people i live with do whatever they want and me the magic fairy always has to clean up afterwards. Gah. The day i have a fridge and freezer to myself or at least shared with a sane person ill definitely cry tears of joy.

[@Nola8998]

I like the idea of bins! My mom doesn’t use bins in the fridge, but she puts masking tape on the edge of the shelves to denote what’s on that shelf or row.

[@courtneyrusher584]

We have the same fridge so I will definitely be using some of these ideas

[@Kate-ck9kh]

Eggs on top of the fridge and nuts in the dry place like cupboard. It save space if you can put it in different space.

[@charmsy2010]

IM SO GOAD IM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS A FREEZER WITH JUST *PILES* UPON *PILES* OF BAGS

[@lizwilliams586]

I have barely started watching but I know this is going to be one of my favourite 'episodes'! 🥦

[@nolomoao]

I’m moving in a few weeks and I’ve been going through and deep cleaning my house and the fridge is one of those things that’s so gross but in the end, it’s so satisfying!

[@Anyagalinamom]

This was so satisfying!!! 🥦

[@glittertogore]

I just did this last week. It feels wonderful❤

[@HomeschoolwithRachel]

You are not alone in the refrigerator door struggles! I have the identical challenge you do with the tight space that doesn't allow one door to open all the way. What were the designers of our kitchens thinking!?!

[@watchlistenwrite]

It was so fun to see my suggestion on the screen! Love the way you include your viewers in the process 😊

[@themasterbower]

That black and white part was the best 😂. Your humor always surprises me and I love it.

[@akaelakrisa3146]

Great job! Enjoyed every minute. 🥦

[@jamiesundblad9830]

🥦🥦🥦 ive watched every episode! Love this series so much thank you for sharing!

[@hannahbentson9374]

I use a lot of mason jars to sort nuts, seeds, condiments and such in the fridge

[@annettewhite6267]

🥦 hi from Australia. I am currently addicted to your videos.

[@sulmaoropeza7848]

I use the dollar tree clear chopping mats as liners for refrigerator and freezer

[@elizabethglenn34]

🥦 loving these videos, really enjoy your upbeat, sweet personality!!

[@danib4662]

The bins are going to help so much not only in terms of pulling the food out but also for cleaning! Since you can't pull the shelves out of the fridge hopefully most of the spills are contained in those bins. Also, I love nut pods creamers :)

[@cristinaflogerzi647]

Have we thought about buying a food savers for the meal prep and freezer food? Sucks up the air. Ziplock and container options. I swear by it- especially for resizing big Costco items. LOVE the commercial! And the Oxo containers ..will look into those. Let us know how you like them!

[@sarahrosekhalil]

🥦 I have been loving this messy to minimal series 😊

[@MarshaBenne]

You need a top fridge and bottom freezer. My mom has one in her small kitchen so much easier to access. I cleaned m fridge one day and kept up on it and it truly makes a huge difference

[@sabreenakae688]

Now to rewatch from the beginning because I missed the first half of the premiere🤦🏽‍♀️😂 I love this series ❤️

[@raisingautism8214]

My fridge gets like that all the time great video

[@lisaann6267]

ive been watching Dr. Berg on you tube, he keeps it simple but concise on gut health. ✔❤ i like that turn table idea.

[@rachelnapoli5868]

Loved the Good Eats reference! 😂 🥦

[@wirkaswirka]

Hi Natalie, I really enjoy this series. Can you move the fridge where your coffe stand is and place the coffe stand where the fridge is? Would it be more comfortable for you to access? Take care, you're doing the best job :)

[@soulsisterseer]

Great idea with the lazy susan on top shelf! Definitely going to use that one. Thanks for another awesome vid!! =)

[@eileenlester4342]

🥦 Have to tackle mine again. Need to get some clear bins because the other ones require me to pull them out in order to see what's in them. Love OXO. Great video! TFS 💜

[@jennyphillips945]

When you put left overs in the food storage containers put the labels on side were you see it the date it went in so you know roughly how long you got eat it reduces waste

[@marlenb.2901]

🥦. Yeah. Love this series so much. Good inspiration and motivation

[@susanmelero-tripp4804]

I do Sparkling water instead of La cox it is zero point drinks also coke zero pop as well for me points dinks I do drink is Almond Milk is 1 point for steamer and smoothies too.

[@hannahbentson9374]

We’re the same. We eat a lot of fresh veggies and our freezer is like 80% meat. Buy in bulk and freeze things.

[@Madagaskar1987]

I love watching your tips for organising house. You look so nice and girly in ponytail 😍 Loves from Poland ❤️🥦

[@melissawilkinson3320]

That infomercial 🤣🤣🤣🤣 cracked me up! I love all of the containers. Gotta try this in my fridge too! Would love to hear more about your new way of eating!

[@arelymendez5115]

🥦I am loving all this series!! I am trying as well go to a minimal style life :)

[@monamorgan8614]

It’s a constant chore keeping the fridge clean. I always store breakfast items together and sandwich, ie mustard, mayo, ketchup steak sauce. etc together. I measured fir my new fridge, it’s a French door and freezer on bottom. I love it ,except, I didn’t factor in its depth😱 it sticks out about 5 “ so my right side door won’t open all the way. My sister in-law has the same issue , maybe it’s contagious lol also you might try a pastry bag to transfer mayo to containers.

[@summerroark94]

Loved the video. I need to reorganize my fridge and freezer too today 😬. It’s looking very similar to your before. I have been buying some small organizers from target but I’ll definitely buy some of the fridge containers now!
