SUMMARY:National Clean Out Your Fridge Day
DESCRIPTION:HISTORY OF NATIONAL CLEAN OUT YOUR FRIDGE DAY \n\n\n\nNew technology means new problems. Ever since the first household refrigerator hit the market\, consumers then became burdened with a new thing to deal with – cleaning it. \n\n\n\nFrom 1911 to 1922\, the technological advances of home refrigerators and refrigeration technologies increased at the rate of speed rivaled only by smartphones. It wasn’t until 1927 when GE produced the “Monitor Top\,” a reference to the ironclad Civil War-era ship\, the USS Monitor. This model alone sold over one million units. \n\n\n\nIt wasn’t until post-war America that separate freeze box units were created and used in addition to the typical refrigerator. And then\, in the 1970s and 80s\, further developments helped created a the combo model we usually see today. \n\n\n\nRegardless of what kind of refrigerator they had over the years\, everyone had the task of needing to clean it out. Whether its the moldy oranges\, the brown bananas\, or that milk you forgot about\, cleaning a refrigerator is something that American’s over the past century can relate to. \n\n\n\nThere’s no clear information about how the Clean Out Your Refrigerator Day came about. The general consensus is that this day was started by the Whirlpool Corporation\, and later became popular throughout the country. \n\n\n\nIt is believed that the company intended for the day to be celebrated on the third Wednesday of every month\, but the day took a life of its own. Later Whirlpool celebrated a Clean Out Your Refrigerator Week\, but the date had gotten stuck. \n\n\n\nCleaning out the refrigerator is a big task\, and it’s only natural that people would push the chore aside. Having one day to do a big clean of the refrigerator is useful because it makes everyday cleaning easier. \n\n\n\nRefrigerators are essential in the modern American household but are frequently ignored. They store all our food\, and that’s why it is essential that they are cleaned regularly. If food is left to go bad in a refrigerator\, the germs can spread and affect all the food stored in them. \n\n\n\nA refrigerator that is too full also won’t work as efficiently and will use more electricity. Regularly throwing out food that has started to go bad or you’re not planning to eat goes a long way. Spills need to be cleaned up as they happen\, and it’s a great time to check what you’ve stored away in the freezer section. \n\n\n\nA cleaning session is a great opportunity to check how well your refrigerator is functioning and if it needs any servicing. With Clean Your Refrigerator Day right before the holidays\, it’s the perfect opportunity to make sure that everything is ready before Thanksgiving!
