Organise

Remove everything. Dispose of expired items and consolidate duplicates. Start with a blank slate.

Wipe down all surfaces, shelves, and drawers with a gentle, food-safe cleaner. Ensure a fresh start.

Assign specific areas for different food categories (dairy, produce, leftovers). Think about how you use your fridge daily.

Once a week, spend ten minutes checking dates, clearing leftovers, wiping spills and moving anything that needs using into your “Use First” zone.

Use practical storage solutions like clear bins and drawer dividers to keep items contained and visible within their zones.

Best for: Creating simple fridge zones

Clear fridge storage bins

Stackable organisers help use the height between shelves and can make smaller items much easier to find. Particularly useful in smaller fridges where every bit of space matters.

Stackable Fridge Organisers

Best for: Making better use of shelf space

Clear storage bins make it easier to group similar foods together while still being able to see what you have. Great for snacks, dairy, fruit, vegetables or creating your own “use me first” section.

Fridge Turntable

Best for: Sauces, jars and everyday items

A simple turntable can stop smaller jars and bottles disappearing at the back of the fridge. Rotate it and everything is within easy reach.

Egg Storage Organiser

Best for: Keeping eggs together and visible

One of our favourite Fridge Reset habits. Keep a small clear bin at eye level for food that needs using soon, leftovers, opened dairy, fruit and vegetables nearing their best. It makes the healthiest choice the easiest choice and helps reduce unnecessary food waste.

“Use Me First” Storage Bin

Best for: Reducing food waste

A dedicated egg organiser creates a clear home for eggs and can make better use of fridge space, particularly when a stackable design is used.
