DIY Natural Fridge Cleaner

The fridge is one thing in the house that I don’t pay that much attention too. I tend to put off cleaning it out until there is some kind of spill that needs to be cleaned up. This time, an egg broke on the top shelf of the door and worked its way down to the ground, leaving behind a sticky mess. Now, using this simple, DIY natural fridge cleaner, my fridge is as clean as new and smells fresh once again.

To make this cleaner, you only need a few items: a glass spray bottle, 1 part white vinegar, 2 parts hot water and a few drops of essential oils. I like to use citrus essential oils in the fridge to give it a fresh, clean smell. Oils like orange, lemon, grapefruit and vanilla are great.
