  2. It is so hard to keep a fridge so clean and organized…. especially with three kids.. Thank you for the tips! They are great! I feel inspired to try them anyway! Thank you! 🙂

  3. I agree that you should use cling wrap to prevent spills. I think this is especially true if you have kids in the home that like to make messes. The fridge is the ultimate play station for little toddlers once they learn how to open its door.

  4. Pretty useful tips! I plan to clean my fridge soon and I feel overwhelmed when I think of how much work is to clean the fridge. I definitely need to make a list and have a good plan before I start. Thanks for sharing!
