As the weather gets hotter with each passing day, so does the need to organize your refrigerator. A well-organized fridge helps in two aspects: you find what you’re looking for quickly and keeps food fresh longer, which also reduces wastage. In this article, we will share some expert tips on how to organize your refrigerator during summer and Haier India’s innovative refrigerator models that can help you achieve optimal organization and efficiency.
Benefits of an organized fridge in summer
Before we get started, let’s discuss why an organized refrigerator is even more important during the hot season:
1. Food safety: Properly storing your food helps it last longer.
2. Longer food freshness: When everything is visible and accessible, there is a higher chance that you will use them before they spoil.
3. Reduced waste: An organized fridge makes it easier to keep track of what you have and use them before they go bad.
4. Increased efficiency: A well-organized fridge allows proper air circulation which improves energy efficiency.
5. Time-saving: Looking for ingredients becomes faster when everything has its place.
5 top tips on organizing the refrigerator for summer
- Deep Clean and Deodorize
Before starting your process of organizing your fridge, deep clean it first by emptying everything inside it. Start removing the expired or spoiled food then wipe everything down with a mild soap solution including the drawers and shelves. For tougher stains or odors, make a paste of baking soda and water then apply it directly to those areas (wait for a few minutes before wiping off). Don’t forget to wipe clean the door gasket as well as the exterior.
Haier’s Deo Fresh Technology absorbs odors and impurities keeping things smelling fresh for long.
Designate Zones for Food Types
When storing food in your fridge, consider creating zones specific to their types. Aside from making the fridge look neat and organized, this also prevents cross-contamination. Here is a suggested layout:
- Upper Shelves: Store leftovers, ready-to-eat foods, and drinks.
- Lower Shelves: Place your raw ingredients, dairy, and eggs here.
- Door: Put all the condiments, sauces, and frequently used items in this section.
- Drawers: Fruits, vegetables, and herbs should go here.
Haier Side-by-Side and French Door refrigerators have enough space to follow these zones. Plus they have adjustable shelves so you can customize your storage according to what you need.
Maximize Space with Organizational Tools
Invest on some organizational tools to make the most out of your fridge space:
- Clear storage containers: Use air-tight containers when storing leftover food or cut fruits and veggies making them last longer. You may also label and date them for easier identification.
- Lazy Susans: These rotating trays are helpful for condiments or jars and helps you get what you want easily without knocking things over.
- Bins that can be stacked: To keep things tidy and to easily see what you have, use clear bins to group similar things together. For example, cheeses, yogurts or deli meats.
- Door organizers: Organizers for cans, bottles and small jars can be attached to the door freeing up shelf space for other items.
Many of Haier’s fridges have built-in organizational features like adjustable door bins, gallon door storage and flexible shelving. All of these are designed to help you make the most of your space.
Keep Summer Staples Front and Center
During the summer months you’ll probably find yourself reaching for certain items more often than others. Some of those might include:
- Cold drinks and water bottles
- Fresh fruits and vegetables
- Salad ingredients and dressings
- Popsicles and ice cream
- Chilled soups and dips
By keeping these in easy-to-reach spots such as at the front of the shelves or in designated door bins, it will make grabbing them quickly a breeze. Additionally this may encourage healthier snacking habits.
Adjust Temperature Settings for Efficiency
To maintain a constant internal temperature during hot outside weather your fridge has to work twice as hard. So help it run more efficiently by adjusting your temperature settings as needed:
- Set up your fridge temperature between 35°F – 38°F (1.7°C – 3.3°C)*
Haier’s refrigerators use cutting-edge cooling technology which allows them to maintain optimal temperatures, humidity levels so you don’t have to worry about spoilage or waste.
Quick Daily And Weekly Maintenance Tips
To keep your fridge organized all summer long incorporate these quick maintenance tasks into your routine:
- Everyday take a moment to straighten up the fridge by putting any stray items back where they belong.
- Before going grocery shopping, take inventory of what you already have and the things that need to be used sooner rather than later. Plan your meals around these items to reduce waste.
- Once a week quickly purge any expired or spoiled items, wipe up any spills or messes.
- Every few months remove everything from the fridge and give it a thorough cleaning.
A little bit of regular maintenance goes a long way in keeping your fridge organized and your food fresh all summer long.
