Easy ways to organise your fridge

Fridges easily get disorganised and messy with daily use, often resulting in strange mystery boxes and unnecessary food waste. Here are some easy tips to help you improve organisation and free up useful space in your fridge.

Clean your fridge - The essential first step

Before any organising magic can happen, a thorough clean is key. Empty your fridge, wipe down all surfaces. A sparkling clean fridge isn't just hygienic; it's the perfect fresh start for your new organised system.

Lock in freshness - Smart resealable solution

These zip-lock bags keep veg, nuts and other foods fresh for longer. Thanks to the double seal they’re also great for storing leftovers and ready-made portions in the fridge. If you want – and depending on what’s been inside – you can re-use them with a quick hand wash.

What to keep out

Some foods are best stored outside the fridge. So, why not get a few hanging net bags and beautiful bowls for your countertop? It’s a much better place to keep your tomatoes, avocados, onions, potatoes, bananas and more. This is also a nice relief for your fridge, making it less crowded.
