Fridge emptied, cleaned, and reorganised properly. Out-of-date food binned, shelves cleaned, everything put back where you can actually find it.
When The Fridge Gets Out of Hand
Mystery tupperware at the back. Yoghurts from last month. That jar of something you can't identify. If opening the fridge door fills you with dread, it's time to start fresh.
💡 Pro tip: If you can't remember buying it and it's pushed to the back, it's probably not worth keeping.
More Than Just a Tidy
There's a difference between moving things around and actually organising:
| ✅ Proper Organisation | ❌ Quick Shuffle |
|---|---|
| Everything out, cleaned, sorted | Just rearrange what's there |
| Out-of-date items removed | Keep everything |
| Logical groups (dairy, meat, veg) | Random placement |
| Shelves and drawers cleaned | Wipe round the edges |
Takes the same amount of time to do it right. Lasts about 100x longer.

What to Expect
Step 1: Empty It Out
Get everything out so we can see what we're working with. I'll work quickly so chilled stuff doesn't warm up too much.
Step 2: Sort Through Everything
You'll decide what stays and what goes. I'll flag anything obviously past it, but final call is yours.
Step 3: Clean & Reload
Shelves and drawers get cleaned properly, then everything back in logical order. Dairy on one shelf, meat on another, veg in the crisper.
🔧 DIY Tips
If you want to tackle it yourself, here's the proper way:
🔧 What you'll need
- Bin bag
- Washing up liquid and warm water
- Clean cloths
- 30 minutes when the fridge isn't too full
📐 How to do it properly
- Empty one shelf at a time (easier than all at once)
- Check dates on everything as it comes out
- Remove shelves and drawers - wash in sink
- Wipe down interior while they're drying
- Put back by category - dairy, meat, veg, condiments
- Newest items at back, oldest at front
⚠️ Common DIY mistakes
- Trying to clean around the food (impossible)
- Putting items back in random order
- Not checking dates (waste of time if dodgy stuff stays)
- Forgetting to clean door pockets (where spills hide)
💡 Pro trick: Line your crisper drawer with kitchen roll. When veg goes slimy (and it will), just swap the paper instead of scrubbing the drawer.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
🧊 Temperature check: If your fridge is constantly too warm or too cold, organisation won't fix that. Might be the thermostat or the seal on the door. Worth checking.
Doing a deep clean? If you're already getting the fridge organised, might as well clean the outside too - top, sides, and behind if we can pull it out. Adds 10 minutes.
Exeter's older houses sometimes have ancient fridges that are basically just cold cupboards. If food's going off too quickly despite being in the fridge, it might not be cold enough.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why would I need help organising a fridge?
You probably don't if you're on top of it. But after an illness, bereavement, or if mobility makes bending difficult, sometimes the fridge becomes overwhelming. Or you're helping sort out a relative's house. No judgment - just getting it sorted.
What's involved in fridge organisation?
Everything out, chuck what's past it, clean the shelves and drawers properly, then put everything back in a logical order. Dairy together, meat together, veg in the crisper where it belongs. Takes 30-40 minutes.
Do you provide the cleaning products?
I'll bring basic stuff, but if you've got specific fridge cleaner you prefer, we can use that. Either way works.
What happens to the old food?
Up to you - I can bag it for your bin or take it away. Anything obviously mouldy or past its date goes, but you'll make the call on borderline stuff.
Can you do the freezer at the same time?
Yes - makes sense to do both together really. Adds about 20-30 minutes depending on freezer size.
