You know how to tidy the fridge? We spoke with the personal organizer Cora Fernandes who explained the correct way to store each food. But before leaving for organization you need to clean the appliance.
How to sanitize the refrigerator?
“Hygiene must be carried out every 15 days. Cleaning can be done with detergent and baking soda”, says the expert. And it doesn’t stop there! All packaging must also be sanitized before returning to the refrigerator.
If there is an odor that resists coming out, Cora recommends cleaning with alcohol vinegar. “It is a great odor remover,” she explains.

Now, yes, the stage of organization has arrived, which is carried out taking into account the best way to preserve food. “Eggs are always on the shelf, as well as milk and dairy products”, warns the staff. In fact, milk and dairy products should be placed in the coldest drawer of the refrigerator.

On the first shelf, it is worth storing an acrylic tray with the most consumed items for your breakfast. This way, you can easily set the table when you wake up.
The other shelves should also be divided into sectors, but according to your eating habits. One can be reserved for desserts or leftover food, for example.
However, the last shelf must store drinks bottles – which should not be left at the door due to their weight.

In the fruit and vegetable drawer, Cora recommends using organizing baskets or ice cream tubs to separate food. Once in the freezer, divide the amount of fish, chicken or meat to avoid defrosting what will not be used.
Keep mason jars, glass bottles, and small condiments on the door. Other items that you need to always have on hand can also be kept there.
Finally, an important tip is to identify jars of leftover food with their name and storage date. This way, you avoid waste.
An organized refrigerator makes you save money and know what really needs to be purchased.
