*MAJOR* REFRIGERATOR ORGANIZATION 2021 | Deep Clean Your Fridge With Me 🧼

[@Honestbudgeting]

I love this! Just a suggestion though. As someone who's worked in a hospital kitchen, I was taught to always have the meat on the VERY bottom. Even under all of the cheese and such. This is just because of the fact that meat tends to leak from the packaging. So if it does somehow leak into the drawer below, you would be cross contaminating your cheese and asparagus which is both just very unappetizing and dangerous as well. Keep up the good work!

[@lisaharrington3241]

I work in a hospital kitchen and was taught the same thing

[@REMZ10061985]

good advice. I will follow this. Even when the last bucket of my fridge seems to be for vegetables? would my meat stay good?

[@Honestbudgeting]

Your meat will be just fine 🙂 I've always wondered why the fridge companies expect veggies on the bottom. I either put them above or at the same level as my drinks and I put the veggies in a wooden crate. That way if ANYTHING spills it doesn't make the veggies gross

[@Myeverydaywifelife]

Kudos! Looks great! Tip; put a paper towel in bottom of lettuce/spinach/fruit containers, helps absorb moisture and it will last longer. 💜

[@angelakeirsey278]

I put sponges in my veggies drawers so it absorbs moisture. If you cut the bottom of the asparagus and then place in glass with a couple inches of water, stems up it will last a lot longer. Parsley and cilantro can be stored this way too ! 👍🏻

[@angelakeirsey278]

Oh, also you can leave apples out of refrigerator and they will taste more flavorable. Tomatoes too!

[@Myeverydaywifelife]

@@angelakeirsey278 good tips!

[@amitas7047]

Hey quick question if u cud assist me ...does mozzarella n cheddar grated mix cheese need to be in freezer or can can keep in fridge in diary tray?

[@amitas7047]

@Jessamyn Verhaar thanks dear

[@angie6859]

I recommend keeping the meats in the bottom drawer because if something were to leak it won't drip down onto other food. Asparagus is great to keep in a jar with a little water in the door of the fridge too.

[@ashleyhuze]

Great idea!! Thank you!!

[@larinamason6040]

I like this idea!

[@notyourmanicpixie]

also, keeping them on a tray or something with a lip keeps any leaking in one spot and away from other food.

[@greerpoulin7222]

I do this and im told i have o.c.d lol.....I'm really weird about meat though. I cant even bring myself to put it next to other food while I'm grocery shopping (always has to go on the bottom of the cart)

[@Yolanda05]

I love how she show this real no like o yes I'm so clean now I'm a organize my already organized fridge I love the row true made me feel normal thanks . It just motivated me to organize my fridge ♥️

[@marianneshlimon309]

Just an FYI - I’ve watched a lot of these videos and they say that the door is the hottest part of the fridge so your milk should be right at the back of the fridge which is the coldest so it doesn’t spoil. Also, the draw compartments have humidity control which prolongs your fruit and veg :)

[@marianneshlimon309]

Looks great though!!! Xx

[@leahanne7288]

THANK YOU for a realistic fridge organization video!!! Our fridge is old and small. So many videos have like no condiments, my husband and I have so many plus jarred goodies in our fridge😂 one drawer is now for our jarred condiments, the other for meats and dairy products. Top shelf for leftovers, other two shelves for drinks and produce. Still need to get containers (instead of Pyrex), but it looks so much better already!

[@deborahderden4860]

Don’t put milk in the door. The door gets to be the least cold area of the fridge because it is opened and closed so often.

[@huizy9793]

So true!

[@healingpower4832]

Thanks, I didn’t know that

[@messily1456]

My milk never lasts long enough for it to matter!

[@sandrarufmarquess7051]

Very inspirational! Just a tip, but I learned the hard way that grapes last longer when left on their vines. Clean and cut into small groupings.

[@christine1373]

Very good to know because I always remove them!

[@tammyfennell4982]

I was thinking the same thing and the water starts the decomposing process. But, maybe they are everyone's go to snack and they don't last long enough for that to be a problem.🙂

[@ashleyhuze]

Good to know!! Thank you!!

[@andreacurtisdragonflywarri9832]

I do this too , with grapes ! I cut vines into smaller groups and wash with water and vinegar or fruit and veggie wash and rinse and then put into container , but only take grapes off the vines in a small batch that would get eaten in 2-3 days (In a smaller separate container)and leave the grapes on vines in the other ! The container with out the grapes on vines , I just refill every few days !

[@crazycroney]

Thank you for showing a real life fridge makeover. Your fridge is real life and relatable. Pro tips from a pro organizer here.... 1. Move the meat to the bottom drawer and put it under a tray. So if you do get leaks nothing get meat juice. Ewww 2. let the strawberries, grapes air dry before putting them in the container the. Put a paper towel for the fruit and lettuce it will make them last longer. 3. I would put the apples on the counter. They are taking up a huge amount of space and are hiding small things in the back. Also the kids will be more likely to grab them if they are out.

[@rosehill9537]

Love love love that this is a true used fridge. The organisation looks amazing!!! Thanks for the motivation to tackle my fridge nightmare. Crunchy milk and all.

[@DMosesRN]

It is finally nice to see someone trying to organize a narrow side by side fridge. I can’t wait to replace mine & put this one in the garage. I am one of those OCD people you mentioned earlier . I put everything in clear bins and they must have a label on it.

[@l3paranormal959]

Finally a video that looks the same as my fridge! Now I'm more motivated! Thanks for the inspiration!

[@amandaeddington650]

Prewashed grapes, strawberries, etc also fit in glass mason jars..takes up a little bit less space in the fridge. And you’re absolutely right...easier to grab for snacks. ☺️

[@NViousBeauty]

The before was stressful to look at as well! We keep butter in the same place as you. I've got a side-by-side for the moment but we ordered a new fridge to have the two doors on top and a snack drawer & bottom freezer. I'm so excited to get it all organized! Thanks for the inspiration! Looks AMAZING!

[@Pimfa100]

You did a great job. Love the way you show everything the way it is and not trying to cover up anything since this is real life and nothing to be shame about it. You’re a sweet girl with great ideas. Thanks for sharing 😃

[@rhianakipp8378]

Crunchy pieces of milk...real life! 😂 Tfs

[@ashleyhuze]

Hahahah for real!😆😅

[@KieraKiwiBlizzard]

I am only 11 and for some reason I have always LOVED organizing. When I was younger I would organize all my doll houses and I would get so mad when my sister played with them and didn’t put them back in the EXACT place I had it before.

[@ericawheeler7392]

String cheese fits really well vertically inside Talenti Gelato containers and that would probably fit in your butter drawer where you have them now. Plus you could easily grab n go ;)

[@tinablum9089]

This the biggest transformation yet! Great job!!

[@darleneveno9119]

WOW... just one question. Where will you put leftovers?

[@debbiepollard3980]

Before and after pics are always so amazing. You did a great job considering your fridge is on the small side especially for a family of 6 with small children. To give yourself more fridge space, apples or pears or oranges can be left in a fruit bowl outside the fridge. You may not need 20 cans of pop inside the fridge - just a few and the rest in the pantry and then when you take a few out of the fridge you can replace them. Milk should be in the fridge instead of the door bc it is colder in the fridge unless you drink it fairly quickly. Asparagus in a container with a small amount of water lasts longer. Everyone has a different storage idea depending on how fast you use your groceries. The type of storage is different if you consume your fruits, vegetables and milk, etc. quickly or more slowly.

[@nancymangels6519]

Thank you for a very inspirational video. I feel this can be a chore I can easily tackle now!! Need to make a Wal-Mart and Target run!! Thanks again!

[@JLWhite-lq9oe]

You eat with your eyes first, I ❤️ seeing everything in the fridge. One restaurant tip though, always keep raw/defrosting meat in bottom drawer, that way if it leaks it is contained.

[@ashleyhuze]

Smart!! Moving meat to the bottom today!!

[@kristinecornell8649]

Wow, that before fridge was epic! 🤣 if you soak your berries in vinegar water before your store them, they will last longer (& not taste like vinegar). You can also store apples at room temp, so that would free up some space. That looks amazing though! I love containing things!

[@ashleyhuze]

Good to know!! I’ve never done that I’ll try that! Thank you!!❤️❤️

[@marshabalderrama8903]

It came out like a Pinterest. I like to put my asparagus in a mason jar with water leave it open like you would flowers. It helps them last longer

[@ashleyhuze]

Love this tip!! Thank you!!

[@ArmyWife8697]

Good to know

[@blaqfish]

You can put asparagus in a glass half full with water standing up and it will last longer 😊

[@incendi4ry]

I recently watched a TikTok video about reorganizing your fridge for ADHD where it goes against the grain and puts condiments down in the produce drawers and moves the produce items into the door shelves. For me, I'm definitely going to try that because I always forget that I have certain produce and I *always* find something that's moldy. I think I'll be more likely to use it if I see it right away when I open the fridge. I don't have nearly as spacious a fridge as you, but we all make due with what we've got! Great job. I just bought some stackable freezer bins last night on Amazon that should get here tomorrow, and I'm *super* excited to reorganize it. I just cleaned out my fridge of old, expired stuff (🤢) and washed the fridge but once I go grocery shopping again, I'll reorganize that too. 🤘

[@michelenims2655]

Hi! I cut the ends off of my asparagus and then place them in a standing glass container with the freshly cut ends in the water. It keep fresh forever!

[@lilianaorozco5228]

Love it! Finally a video of a TRUE used refrigerator. Thanks for using different bin sizes and shapes. It gave me ideas since others show basically two sizes. I agree with others about jar with a bit of water for asparagus. This works great also with cilantro and chives. I loosely cover the cilantro with a veggie store bag as well and it will last even longer. I'll look into Pink Stuff tip to try it.

[@mommygarcia9137]

Wow ! Looks absolutely beautiful & so well organized !

[@JohnneseP]

I love these videos. Pieces of milk and random unknown spills are so real 😂 freaks me out but the satisfaction of it getting cleaned is worth it

[@Algebrina]

Glad to find this video - I have almost the exact same fridge! Like you say, all the other fridge organizing videos are for French door style, which doesn't help give me any ideas for my own. Looks great!

[@CoolTaxiDriver]

There is hope for my fridge!!! I bought some containers today, knowing that I was going to do my fridge tomorrow! Thank you!! I really needed your inspiration! The bottom of fridge is the worst place to keep meats!!! The top of the fridge is colder and the drawers are not as cold..so meat stays better higher up. I either double bag stuff in ziplocks, or I put them in containers so that they can’t leak. My old fridge actually had a meat drawer that was in the top third of the fridge.

[@maryanderson4455]

That was amazing from before and after. I am now ordering bins to organize our fridge...it looks like your before and it will soon look like your after. You are very inspiring. I am now motivated from your video. You rock my friend! Thanks so much for the motivation and your fridge looks AMAZING!

[@ashleyhuze]

Aww thank you Mary!!❤️❤️

[@momzluvmakeup24sure6]

Nice! I'd try to get a new fridge, we had a side by side that was too narrow and switched to a single door with freezer on bottom. What a difference!!

[@conchafacesxs770]

Asparagus can be stored in a wide mouth mason jar with a little water upright on the door. You could line the spinach bottom with a paper towel and or freeze half in a freezer bag.

[@msjr1765]

I love that PINK STUFF.....I bought it for my white dishes. They were getting these grey scratches all over from the silverware and nothing would take them off, i was ready to buy new dishes, but then I heard about the Pink Stuff and it worked! They look like new.

[@mrsf3241]

I love this! Am I the only one who saw the little dog in the corner and wanting the camera to go on the dog

[@staceyallard2692]

Another tip- put the raw meat in the bottom drawer and line the drawer with paper towel. That way if it happens to leak it won’t leak onto the items you have below it.

You have a beautiful home. I have been binge watching your channel literally all day. I think the culprit at the bottom of the fridge is CHICKEN JUICE. I have to always make sure when my partner buys chicken he double bags, it leak even if in the airtight seal. Strange but true. Ok, now back to binging.

[@patriciagalanakis4540]

Suggestion - milk is better in the back of the fridge rather than the door. The door is the warmest part of the refrigerator.

[@mdf436]

Even though most ppl know this, the fridge (which is the same one I bought last year) has the door bins made specifically to hold milk and other jugs of juice and stuff. It’s sort of like a must do with this fridge because of how short the shelves are. And then when you do readjust them to fit milk and other tall things you lose out on the height of the shelves. Its a little annoying but it’s a huge fridge so you can’t beat that for what it was worth.

[@dianerobertson7988]

Once a month or so do a pantry/freezer challenge where you only menu plan from those areas. You only grocery shop for those things you need for that menu plan. The plan can be for 7-14 or more days. You will find that you won’t waste as much food.

[@psymompa]

Great advice!

[@karenedwards2615]

Finally something that looks like my life! Thanks for this.

[@rebeccamae90]

The missing lids makes me anxious 😂 #mumlife and I completely get it. Love your video. ❤️

[@dallyn792]

I used to have a side-by-side fridge. Soda, in the original box should fit better in your fridge and easier to deal with. Apples in the bottom drawer. Cheeses left in their original bags, contained together, but without lids, to make them more accessible. Asparagus upright in a Mason jar with water, like a vase. Juice and Gerber pouches to the door to free up a flat surface for leftovers. Most side-by-sides were sold with cheese drawers. It's a shame you don't have one. An extra shelf, just over the Chobani would be a great way to store cheeses. IDesign makes a slim bin with a pull handle that would be perfect for such a space. You might need two. A cookie sheet, will probably work even better. Either way, you'll love the extra space! You might not be able to see the cheeses at a glance but with a simple pull you will, yet they'll stay neatly tucked away. Order the extra shelf online. It will be cheaper than you think. Look at minute mark 10:44, you did it. A little lower and your whole life with be transformed. Chow~ EDIT: After some thought, skip the extra shelf idea. OXO's undershelf drawer clips in under the shelf, making use of the vertical space. It's the easiest solution. www.amazon.com/OXO-Grips-Fridge-Undershelf-Drawer/dp/B0BJSF3BCW/ref=asc_df_B0BJSF3BCW/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=642135178513&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=10178379845407696926&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9022837&hvtargid=pla-1944703491721&mcid=e89198d379c438628158789d263bd1da&th=1

[@joannakelley384]

Asparagus should be stored upright in water. When you get it home, just cut the ends off and store it upright in a container with a bit of water in the bottom. Keeps it much fresher. We always keep our raw meat in our bottom fridge drawer too. That is what restaurants have to do for food safety reasons. :)

[@d.a.tsun5104]

I just replaced my 15+ years old fridge so I'm now roaming YT for idea on organizing my new fridge. The new one has less shelves and brackets, so not a lot of flexibility on the position and spacing from shelf to shelf. Also the shelves seem thinner. Speaking of shelves...your tape was left on the side that will be 'protected' by the brackets, but know that these are tempered glass sheets. Tempered glass shatters (explodes to small, dull/not sharp pieces) when the edge is knocked. So make sure that if you pull the shelves for cleaning, not to bump the exposed edges on something hard.
