I deserve a round of applause!

Well done! I had a fit of madness this morning and cleaned the oven! Now I don’t want to cook dinner in it.

Yes!!! CDM!!!

My fridge doesn't need defrosting just cleaning about every 9 years or so.

😅🤣😂

I cleaned our double-door fridge three years ago when we moved into this house and I have not cleaned it since.
I feel that I should be ashamed but somehow I am not.
After the grand cleaning something odd happened. I developed a habit of wiping down, after use, with a wet sponge every jar/bottle/container/ whatever that lives permanently in said fridge. I probably thought that I was postponing, by this habit, the date on which I would have to repeat the horrible task and that has worked .
Now in our set up Mr Labradora is hygiene mad whereas I have a more relaxed attitude to dirt and dust. Amazingly Himself objects to my "wiping-down" habit and is vocal about it when he remembers.
Weird !!!!!

when we had all to get heat and smoke alarms installed last year, my son in law put the one in the kitchen right above my cooker....after a while if I was using the oven, whenever I opened the oven door the alarm went off...all over the house....when I complained about it I was asked IF MY OVEN NEEDED CLEANED....ha .ha I cleaned it and it solved the problem....put me down for one of these medals...

Clean the fridge? Hmm, please could you come round and demonstrate this obscure skill on mine?

Ha Ha! These post are making me laugh. I thought I was the only slob.
Talking of cookers. I've got a gas one and can't remember if I've cleaned inside the oven since I've had it.
When the potatoes or veg boil over on to the hob I can't always be bothered to clean the water up. I just put the lid back down and leave it for another time.
I can't see it so nobody else can.
I ought to be ashamed of myself.

The bicarbonate I ordered has found a place in the cupboard, it’s very happy, I did wipe brocoli fragments from the bottom of the fridge with a piece of kitchen roll though. In a frenzy of activity I then cleaned the oven door so I can see in it, cup of tea now and patting my back.

Sorry, could you explain again what it was you did? Something to do with your fridge?

Goodness I never clean the fridge as a 'job' I just wipe bits of it regularly. So now I feel really slutty - but I'm still not going to clean it, or the oven!

HousePlantQueen : Now you come to mention it, I've been trying to ignore those mysterious packets of 'green pond-like mush'. Perhaps they should be donated to the nearest university in case they have medical potential.

Yes, or just become self sufficient in penicillin and poultices!

And when you finally do these jobs, then you can’t stop admiring how pristine it all looks, and vow to keep on top of it….

Is paved with good intentions’ one of Mum’s fave sayings😄
I rarely clean out the fridge, seems to go on OK without me.

This just came up on Facebook and seemed appropriate for this thread! 😂

I feel very fussy. I wipe all the surfaces and doorshelves at least once a week, and every 3-4 weeks take them all out and spray clean it. My hob is cleaned every day. My glass oven door is wiped before it cools.
But inside windows rarely cleaned. Maybe every few months.

Last Saturday DD popped in to look after Peggy while I was out all day. Afterwards she asked if I’d noticed that she’d found my feather duster and got rid of all my cobwebs. 😮😮

Well, if I hadn’t noticed them in the first place, how am I supposed to notice when they’re gone?? 😳😳😂

My larder fridge gets completely emptied shelves taken out door shelves as well Then it gets washed out with warm soapy water left to dry and then everything goes back in it's place. I would not think about putting my new shopping into a fridge that has not been thoroughly cleaned. This job gets done every Saturday morning.

Crikey!

Today I cleaned out the understands cupboard and sorted out all my toddler grand daughter's toys, books, jigsaws, etc that were piled up in there. I had intended cleaning out thr fridge (it has been on my to do list for about four weeks) but it is in the utility room and I tried to avoid spending time in there. It is a hideous room but as I will be moving in the next year I don't intend fixing it up. I will definitely (maybe) clean the fridge on Tuesday as that is my only day off this week.

I clean the fridge(s) quite regularly (back up old one in the garage),
it is the freezers I put off cleaning.
There doesn’t seem a good time as they are never empty enough.

This thread has made me laugh so much and made me feel better about not cleaning my fridge - my excuse is its always too full up! I did do a token clean recently when I found a couple of things were a bit sticky - turns out "someone" didn't put the lid on properly on the maple syrup which last got used on Pancake Day, it couldn't possibly have been me!

Good grief, I'd be unhappy eating anything from your freezer.

Lucky that you won’t be doing, then.

Think it’s TillyTrotter as she mentioned cleaning freezers (or not).
