(I mean, most people don't!) But if you're ready to step up your cleaning routine, I interviewed two experts for their best tips. Here's everything they had to say:\n![Woman in kitchen holding packaged meat, looking into a refrigerator](https:\/\/img.buzzfeed.com\/buzzfeed-static\/static\/2026-03\/09\/01\/subbuzz\/feyPd03BR.jpg?downsize=700%3A%2A&output-quality=auto&output-format=auto)\n\nLiudmila Chernetska \/ Getty Images\n\n**A little about the experts I interviewed:**\n\n**• Jared Sarbit** is the CEO of [Picture Perfect Cleaning](https:\/\/www.pictureperfectcleaning.ca\/).\n\n**• Wendy Trunz** is the Partner and Head Organizer at [Jane's Addiction Organization](https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/janesaddictionorganization\/).\n\n## 1\\. So, how often should you clean your fridge, and what's the correct way to do it?\n![Person in casual clothing stands by an open fridge, looking inside](https:\/\/img.buzzfeed.com\/buzzfeed-static\/static\/2026-03\/09\/01\/subbuzz\/AjSE6YRea.jpg?downsize=700%3A%2A&output-quality=auto&output-format=auto)\n\nD3sign \/ Getty Images\n\nAccording to both experts, **you should clean your fridge once a week for routine maintenance.**\n\nThe first step is to go through your fridge and remove any spoiled or expired items.Trunz recommends using \"dark garbage bags for expired foods you’re throwing away\" and having \"a box or shopping bags ready to fill for donations \\[of unopened food.\\]\"\n\nOnce expired foods are tossed, Sarbit suggests wiping down \"shelves and drawers with warm water and very mild dish soap,\" and then making sure to dry everything before putting it away. \"Moisture trapped inside can lead to mildew and smells,\" he said.\n\nAlso, make sure to get the door seals, shelves, and handles. \"Those are high-touch and moisture-prone areas where grime builds up quickly,\" Sarbit explained.\n\nAdvertisement\n\n## 2\\. So, how often should you \"deep clean\" a fridge?\n![Person wearing yellow gloves cleaning a fridge shelf with a sponge](https:\/\/img.buzzfeed.com\/buzzfeed-static\/static\/2026-03\/09\/01\/subbuzz\/ESTcvwdNy.jpg)\n\n![Person wearing yellow gloves cleaning a fridge shelf with a sponge](https:\/\/img.buzzfeed.com\/buzzfeed-static\/static\/2026-03\/09\/01\/subbuzz\/ESTcvwdNy.jpg?downsize=600:*&output-format=auto&output-quality=auto)\n\nAndrey Znamenskyi \/ Getty Images\n\nSarbit recommends **a deeper clean every few months,** pointing out that \"the meat drawer and bottom shelves need the most attention because leaks tend to settle downward.\" Door bins can also get dirty much quicker from condiment residue, and should be wiped more regularly, he added.\n\nTo do a deep clean, take out everything from the fridge. Then, remove shelves and drawers and wash them separately in warm soapy water. \"Make sure you wipe down interior walls, ceilings, and floors on the fridge,\" Sarbit said. \"Don't forget about the drip pan underneath either, and try to vacuum the coils at the back or bottom. Dust can build up quickly in those spots, which ends up affecting the performance and efficiency of the fridge,\" he explained.\n\nAdvertisement\n\n## 3\\. How should you organize food in your fridge?\n![Bins of fresh greens, tomatoes, and broccoli on display with steam in the background](https:\/\/img.buzzfeed.com\/buzzfeed-static\/static\/2026-03\/10\/09\/subbuzz\/CWvBK0Rje.jpg)\n\n![Bins of fresh greens, tomatoes, and broccoli on display with steam in the background](https:\/\/img.buzzfeed.com\/buzzfeed-static\/static\/2026-03\/10\/09\/subbuzz\/CWvBK0Rje.jpg?downsize=600:*&output-format=auto&output-quality=auto)\n\nRomaset \/ Getty Images\n\nSince rotting food leads to grime and unwanted smells, I asked how to prevent this altogether. It turns out that **organization plays a major part in keeping food fresh.**\n\n\"I would keep raw meats sealed and stored on the lowest shelf, use clear containers so you can see what you have, and allow space for airflow,\" Sarbit said. **\"A fridge that’s packed too tightly doesn’t cool evenly, which of course will shorten the shelf life.\"**\n\nTrunz also recommends **using refrigerator and pantry bins** to organize. \"Label bins for yourself and for others helping in your home so everyone can finish the task and put things where they belong,\" she said. \"This also makes it easier to create a grocery list when you see products getting low.\"\n\nAdditionally, it can be helpful to **\"pull forward the items you need to prepare soon so those items don’t expire.\"** She added, \"Take note of what needs to be cooked \\[and\\] make a list of meals to prepare for the week ahead based on what you already have.\"\n\nShe also swears by a **fridge-cleaning challenge:** \"Every once in a while, my husband and I \\[see\\] how long we can go without going to the grocery store. We eat from the pantry, refrigerator, and freezer. This pushes us to get creative and prevents food from being thrown out. There are even fabulous food apps where you input the ingredients you have, and amazing recipes are generated.\"\n\nAdvertisement\n\n## 4\\. Finally, what cleaning products are safe to use inside a fridge, and are there any you should avoid?\n![Person smiling while reaching into a stocked refrigerator](https:\/\/img.buzzfeed.com\/buzzfeed-static\/static\/2026-03\/09\/01\/subbuzz\/sPbp9l5QL.jpg)\n\n![Person smiling while reaching into a stocked refrigerator](https:\/\/img.buzzfeed.com\/buzzfeed-static\/static\/2026-03\/09\/01\/subbuzz\/sPbp9l5QL.jpg?downsize=600:*&output-format=auto&output-quality=auto)\n\nOleh\\_slobodeniuk \/ Getty Images\n\nWhen cleaning the inside of a fridge, Sarbit recommends sticking with **mild dish soap, diluted white vinegar, or a gentle, food-safe all-purpose cleaner.** \"Definitely avoid harsh chemicals like bleach, ammonia, or any heavily fragranced cleaners,\" he said. \"Strong residues tend to linger and transfer onto food packaging.\"\n\nAdvertisement\n## More than anything, both experts agree that consistent cleaning will always prevent bigger messes down the line.

Boilerpipe Text	Since rotting food leads to grime and unwanted smells, I asked how to prevent this altogether. It turns out that organization plays a major part in keeping food fresh. "I would keep raw meats sealed and stored on the lowest shelf, use clear containers so you can see what you have, and allow space for airflow," Sarbit said. "A fridge that’s packed too tightly doesn’t cool evenly, which of course will shorten the shelf life." Trunz also recommends using refrigerator and pantry bins to organize. "Label bins for yourself and for others helping in your home so everyone can finish the task and put things where they belong," she said. "This also makes it easier to create a grocery list when you see products getting low." Additionally, it can be helpful to "pull forward the items you need to prepare soon so those items don’t expire." She added, "Take note of what needs to be cooked [and] make a list of meals to prepare for the week ahead based on what you already have." She also swears by a fridge-cleaning challenge: "Every once in a while, my husband and I [see] how long we can go without going to the grocery store. We eat from the pantry, refrigerator, and freezer. This pushes us to get creative and prevents food from being thrown out. There are even fabulous food apps where you input the ingredients you have, and amazing recipes are generated."

Posted on Mar 15, 2026 comment Comment [![Jen Shiori Adams](https://img.buzzfeed.com/buzzfeed-static/static/user_images/RvqG-Q-Fp_large.jpg?crop=499%252525252525253A499%252525252525253B0%252525252525252C42&downsize=120:&output-format=jpg&output-quality=auto) by Jen Shiori Adams BuzzFeed Staff Jen is a writer for BuzzFeed based in New York.](https://www.buzzfeed.com/jenniferadams2) ## It might not look dirty, but your fridge needs to be cleaned more often than you'd think. ![Person in an orange shirt placing a jar of preserved food into a refrigerator door shelf filled with various bottles and jars](https://img.buzzfeed.com/buzzfeed-static/static/2026-03/09/01/subbuzz/zzs-eB3nm.jpg?downsize=700%3A%2A&output-quality=auto&output-format=auto) 4045 / Getty Images Advertisement ## If you haven't been scrubbing it down every week, don't feel bad. (I mean, most people don't!) But if you're ready to step up your cleaning routine, I interviewed two experts for their best tips. Here's everything they had to say: ![Woman in kitchen holding packaged meat, looking into a refrigerator](https://img.buzzfeed.com/buzzfeed-static/static/2026-03/09/01/subbuzz/feyPd03BR.jpg?downsize=700%3A%2A&output-quality=auto&output-format=auto) Liudmila Chernetska / Getty Images A little about the experts I interviewed:* • Jared Sarbit is the CEO of [Picture Perfect Cleaning](https://www.pictureperfectcleaning.ca/). • Wendy Trunz is the Partner and Head Organizer at [Jane's Addiction Organization](https://www.instagram.com/janesaddictionorganization/). ## 1\. So, how often should you clean your fridge, and what's the correct way to do it? ![Person in casual clothing stands by an open fridge, looking inside](https://img.buzzfeed.com/buzzfeed-static/static/2026-03/09/01/subbuzz/AjSE6YRea.jpg?downsize=700%3A%2A&output-quality=auto&output-format=auto) D3sign / Getty Images According to both experts, you should clean your fridge once a week for routine maintenance. The first step is to go through your fridge and remove any spoiled or expired items.Trunz recommends using "dark garbage bags for expired foods you’re throwing away" and having "a box or shopping bags ready to fill for donations \[of unopened food.\]" Once expired foods are tossed, Sarbit suggests wiping down "shelves and drawers with warm water and very mild dish soap," and then making sure to dry everything before putting it away. "Moisture trapped inside can lead to mildew and smells," he said. Also, make sure to get the door seals, shelves, and handles. "Those are high-touch and moisture-prone areas where grime builds up quickly," Sarbit explained. Advertisement ## 2\. So, how often should you "deep clean" a fridge? ![Person wearing yellow gloves cleaning a fridge shelf with a sponge](https://img.buzzfeed.com/buzzfeed-static/static/2026-03/09/01/subbuzz/ESTcvwdNy.jpg) ![Person wearing yellow gloves cleaning a fridge shelf with a sponge](https://img.buzzfeed.com/buzzfeed-static/static/2026-03/09/01/subbuzz/ESTcvwdNy.jpg?downsize=600:&output-format=auto&output-quality=auto) Andrey Znamenskyi / Getty Images Sarbit recommends a deeper clean every few months,* pointing out that "the meat drawer and bottom shelves need the most attention because leaks tend to settle downward." Door bins can also get dirty much quicker from condiment residue, and should be wiped more regularly, he added. To do a deep clean, take out everything from the fridge. Then, remove shelves and drawers and wash them separately in warm soapy water. "Make sure you wipe down interior walls, ceilings, and floors on the fridge," Sarbit said. "Don't forget about the drip pan underneath either, and try to vacuum the coils at the back or bottom. Dust can build up quickly in those spots, which ends up affecting the performance and efficiency of the fridge," he explained. Advertisement ## 3\. How should you organize food in your fridge? ![Bins of fresh greens, tomatoes, and broccoli on display with steam in the background](https://img.buzzfeed.com/buzzfeed-static/static/2026-03/10/09/subbuzz/CWvBK0Rje.jpg) ![Bins of fresh greens, tomatoes, and broccoli on display with steam in the background](https://img.buzzfeed.com/buzzfeed-static/static/2026-03/10/09/subbuzz/CWvBK0Rje.jpg?downsize=600:&output-format=auto&output-quality=auto) Romaset / Getty Images Since rotting food leads to grime and unwanted smells, I asked how to prevent this altogether. It turns out that organization plays a major part in keeping food fresh.* "I would keep raw meats sealed and stored on the lowest shelf, use clear containers so you can see what you have, and allow space for airflow," Sarbit said. "A fridge that’s packed too tightly doesn’t cool evenly, which of course will shorten the shelf life." Trunz also recommends using refrigerator and pantry bins to organize. "Label bins for yourself and for others helping in your home so everyone can finish the task and put things where they belong," she said. "This also makes it easier to create a grocery list when you see products getting low." Additionally, it can be helpful to "pull forward the items you need to prepare soon so those items don’t expire." She added, "Take note of what needs to be cooked \[and\] make a list of meals to prepare for the week ahead based on what you already have." She also swears by a fridge-cleaning challenge: "Every once in a while, my husband and I \[see\] how long we can go without going to the grocery store. We eat from the pantry, refrigerator, and freezer. This pushes us to get creative and prevents food from being thrown out. There are even fabulous food apps where you input the ingredients you have, and amazing recipes are generated." Advertisement ## 4\. Finally, what cleaning products are safe to use inside a fridge, and are there any you should avoid? ![Person smiling while reaching into a stocked refrigerator](https://img.buzzfeed.com/buzzfeed-static/static/2026-03/09/01/subbuzz/sPbp9l5QL.jpg) ![Person smiling while reaching into a stocked refrigerator](https://img.buzzfeed.com/buzzfeed-static/static/2026-03/09/01/subbuzz/sPbp9l5QL.jpg?downsize=600:&output-format=auto&output-quality=auto) Oleh\_slobodeniuk / Getty Images When cleaning the inside of a fridge, Sarbit recommends sticking with mild dish soap, diluted white vinegar, or a gentle, food-safe all-purpose cleaner.* "Definitely avoid harsh chemicals like bleach, ammonia, or any heavily fragranced cleaners," he said. "Strong residues tend to linger and transfer onto food packaging." Advertisement ## More than anything, both experts agree that consistent cleaning will always prevent bigger messes down the line.

Readable Markdown	Since rotting food leads to grime and unwanted smells, I asked how to prevent this altogether. It turns out that organization plays a major part in keeping food fresh. "I would keep raw meats sealed and stored on the lowest shelf, use clear containers so you can see what you have, and allow space for airflow," Sarbit said. "A fridge that’s packed too tightly doesn’t cool evenly, which of course will shorten the shelf life." Trunz also recommends using refrigerator and pantry bins to organize. "Label bins for yourself and for others helping in your home so everyone can finish the task and put things where they belong," she said. "This also makes it easier to create a grocery list when you see products getting low." Additionally, it can be helpful to "pull forward the items you need to prepare soon so those items don’t expire." She added, "Take note of what needs to be cooked \[and\] make a list of meals to prepare for the week ahead based on what you already have." She also swears by a fridge-cleaning challenge: "Every once in a while, my husband and I \[see\] how long we can go without going to the grocery store. We eat from the pantry, refrigerator, and freezer. This pushes us to get creative and prevents food from being thrown out. There are even fabulous food apps where you input the ingredients you have, and amazing recipes are generated."
