When my husband first moved in with me, he brought with him a box of half-empty, crusted-over condiments. I can still recall the panicky feeling as I watched it come through the door; at that moment I knew I was in for a life of sticky refrigerator shelves. A decade later, I’ve accepted the fact that those nasty jars are the price I pay for living with an excellent, exuberant home cook who, er, doesn’t notice every little spill like I do.
Once you remove everything from a shelf—starting at the top—assess the level of damage. If there have been any spills, carefully remove the glass from the frame and clean both sides, as well as the edges, with the vinegar solution. Then, dry it with a microfiber cloth. You can also wash the frame that holds the glass before replacing the entire shelf. For that, I usually head to the sink and use dish soap and hot water.
If there aren’t any caked-on spills that require shelf removal, simply run a scrubby sponge under hot water. Give the shelf and fridge walls an initial scrub to loosen any gunk. Then, spray it all down with cleaner and give it another scrub, before wiping everything clean with a microfiber cloth. When you’re not actively working in the fridge, close the door to keep everything as cool as you can.Refrigerator drawers often accumulate debris, especially if they’re used for produce. For a deep clean, remove the drawers and wash them in the kitchen sink with soap and water. If they won’t fit in your sink, spray and wipe them clean, and dry them before putting them back. While the drawers are removed, wipe down the walls and “floor” of the fridge with the vinegar cleaner.
