Best Clean-Fridge-Tip Ever ~ SuperMom Monday

Best Clean-Fridge-Tip Ever ~ SuperMom Monday
So being way too jumbo-giant-prego with twins I totally missed out on Spring Cleaning this year.  But I did scour Pinterest and Pin'd tons of great cleaning tips to do later, does that count?  But one thing I did do was clean my fridge.  The thought of storing milk in that sucker was just too much for me to ignore and with the help of my hubbie SuperHubbie I found the BEST clean-fridge-tip EVER!

I found this great tip from the cleaver Bre over at Breezy Boo's Blibber Blabber who used Glade's Press 'n Seal to line her brand new fridge's shelves with.  That way they would stay nice and sparkling clean.  Something spills?  Who cares!  Just peel off the now-dirty plastic wrap, tear off a new sheet to recover your shelf and wallah!  All is better again.  No scrubbing needed.  Awesome!

So here is my fridge with the still dirty top shelf and the Press 'n Seal 
covering the next shelf down.

My sweet Hubbie looked at me like I lost my mind when I busted out my camera to take a picture of our fridge.  "It's for my blog!"  The look of horror left his face and was replaced with a slight grin and a giggle.  Hey, he was helping me so I let him giggle at me all he wanted!  It was the least I could do.

Bre was fortunate to have a new fridge which was not turned on yet and therefore warm which she states made it super easy to stick the plastic too.  Since mine was old and cold
I followed her advice and sort of rubbed the plastic with my hands to help it 
stick to the glass shelves.

I'm happy to report that 2 months later (and all the food going in and out of a fridge that feeds 9 has to deal with) the Press 'n Seal has stayed sealed to the shelves!  I was a little skeptic that it wouldn't hold up.  But since it did I just had to share it.  Thanks Bre!  
Best. Clean-Fridge-Tip. Ever!


Update:  I was a bit worried after reading a comment that the plastic wrap would be very difficult to remove when it came time for a change.  I'm happy to report that 2 months later during my DeClutter Confessions series I needed to removed the plastic on two shelves and it came right off!  Hooray!  Wrap, wrap away ladies!
Do you have any awesomely great fridge cleaning tips you'd like to share?

  1. What an amazing idea! I totally need to clean out my fridge and I'm so glad I saw this before I did. Definitely going to do this! We're a military family and will be moving in another year. I'm already thinking about deep cleaning things around the house to prepare for the move.

    Found you at Tatertots & Jello weekend link up, your newest follower! Thanks for the tip!

  7. I tried this and although the press and seal held up for a long time, it is TERRIBLE to get off the glass shelf. I had to take my shelves completely out and scrub them in the sink to get it off. I would not advise this.
