Today is National Clean Out Your Refrigerator Day

You are here:

November 15th is National Clean Out Your Refrigerator Day. When was the last time you cleaned out your fridge? According to The Wall Street Journal, most people never think about cleaning out the refrigerator when they are putting groceries away. The only time the fridge actually gets wiped down is when there is a spill or an obvious reason to do so. Do you know how long that jar of spicy mustard has been sitting on the shelf? Are the Maraschino cherries still even edible? Here’s an exhaustive list of how long any food should be kept called Stilltasty.com and yes, there’s even an iPhone app for that!

So get moving, take the time today to clean out your refrigerator. Empty it out, wipe it down, remove the decomposing science projects, have a “Must-Go” night tonight and enjoy a clean and organized fridge. You’ll appreciate it come Thanksgiving, because you’ll finally have space to store your leftovers.
