How Often Do You Clean Your Fridge Out?

[Gingersnap]

I had the opportunity to see my BIL's fridge today. We came back from skiing and I casually opened the door hoping for a frosty adult beverage or at least some milk.

Had a clean spork been available, I would have sporked myself.

Now he's single so he can keep it any way he pleases but the potential haz mat issues were intense. He's obviously okay living with a potential zombie apocalypse originating from his veggie drawer. That's fine, it's his kitchen but it got me wondering.

How often do you actually clean out your fridge? I mean, really. Do you care about "Best By" dates? Do you go by smell, clutter, or obvious signs of decomposition?

Dish. (Not that one with green stuff dripping down the sides.)

Best By dates aren't as important as Born On dates.

You clean out your Fridge daily, don't you? :p

I don't clean out my fridge. I got some womenfolk that clean my house and cook and whatnot. I suppose if it gets cleaned they do it.

Is there some advantage to it being clean....

I can't imagine.

If I cleaned out my fridge, where would I grow the penicillin? If a nuclear holocaust occurs and there's a sudden outbreak of smallpox, guess who you're coming to to save the world.

I would clean it out more often but I am fascinated by the tiny cities and complex shrines that the little creatures in there build as they evolve. They are very polite about handing out the milk and butter when we ask though. Last week the Cream Cheese City occupants successfully launched an orbiter and placed a flag in the ice tray!

No, I don't. I do a general toss-and-sort once a week and I clean the shelves and bins maybe every few weeks depending on spillage. A couple of times a year, I get involved with the whole Clorox Clean-Up Total Makeover Program.:mad:


:D

I clean out every week or so, especially if I notice a smell. I do the empty and scrub thing only when I'm having VIP company, or some meat leaked blood all over.

That's pretty much what I do. It's always a work in progress for me.

Twice a year, I end up taking out all the shelves, bins, etc and clean everything. Including the door gaskets.

Like the oven, when I move.
