Cleaning is very important in the initial stages of organization. This is one fast method:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2b9a Remove everything from the fridge. Place similar items such as dairy, vegetables, cooked meals, and condiments in the same group.
\u2b9a Take inventory of items and check if things are expired or spoiled, then remove everything that is unnecessary.
\u2b9a Wipe the interior down using a mild cleansing agent such as warm water mixed with baking soda and a small amount of dish soap. Some people may prefer using only two of the three ingredients.
\u2b9a Allow the area to dry because moisture build-up leads to bad odors and mold over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is easier to plan for organizational zones and visualization options that require units of storage when one has clean surfaces as a base.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
