Keeping our Refrigerators Cool

To begin organizing our homes let us start in the kitchen. As the kitchen is one of the most important rooms in any household, but unfortunately most people just don't and/or can't keep it organized. I was one of the guilty ones before. We have to wast precious time every morning while preparing breakfast. We all know exactly how it feels to stare our watches while we scramble through the refrigerator looking for something to eat, just wishing that we had five extra minutes before departing for work. And there is nothing worse than interrupting quality family time because you haven't planned your dinner in advance, and it takes you over to prepare it. Plus, how many hours have you wasted while trying to keep your kitchen clean?

But don't fret! Few simple tips I will share with you are sure to make your kitchen better organised, clutter free and efficiently functional. First, let us focus on the appliances and the refrigerator, or ref for short, be the first to be look at. As it is one of the most important as it is the most use appliance in the kitchen. Like our body, the kitchen is to a major organ, and the refrigerator is to a major artery of that organ.

Fresh Refrigerators

Keeping your refrigerator smelling fresh can be one the biggest nuisances you will ever face in your kitchen. The best way to eliminate such foul smells is to place a few charcoal briquettes on a plate in the refrigerator. Just like Korean place charcoal in their home to keep the house smelling fresh and clean. When the pieces of charcoal seem to stop working, simply warm them in a frying pan for a few minutes, and wha-la! it be working again.

Cold is Cheap

Freezers work most efficient, and therefore least expensive, when they are extremely full. Put as much food in it as you can in order to reduce your energy bill. This might also reduce your grocery bill, as buying in bulk is always cheaper and quicker. but make sure that you will able to consume the food before it spoiled. If you can put food due to economic reason, just put in jugs of water for the ref and ice water bag in the freezer.

Clean Refrigerators are Happy Refrigerators

My Uncle Franklin is still using my old Grandfather's GE refrigerator! (the frig used in the Student Rendezvous's store) Just imagine such old appliance still working efficiently. it is because it is well maintained and kept clean all this years. You see, removing dust from beneath your refrigerator is one of the easiest ways to make it last for years and years. You should move it every three months so that you can give it a good cleaning (that pesky dirt really sticks to the bottom!), but don't forget to unplug it to reduce the risk of shock. Doing this will save you a great deal of time and money, as your refrigerator will better regulate its temperature, allowing foods to stay fresh for longer.

Soggy Defrosting

Defrosting a freezer can be such a bother if you have to wipe it out. A quicker and easier method is to line the bottom of your freezer with a few absorbent towels. The towels will soak up all the water when you defrost the freezer.
