Today is ‘Clean out your refrigerator day’
November 15th, 2011 - 7:48 pm ICT by Aishwarya BhattLos Angeles, Nov 15 (THAINDIAN NEWS) The 15th of November each year has been dedicated as the Clean out your Refrigerator Day. Households are encouraged to take stock of their refrigerator contents and take out those that are unwholesome. This category includes items which have gone bad or doesn’t have any immediate use.
There are several reasons why cleaning your refrigerator is such a good idea. The first and best of the reasons is saving money. Decongesting the refrigerator helps to reduce power consumption which in turns reduces the bill. Leaving empty containers in the refrigerator only wastes the power and the money.
Another reason why cleaning your refrigerator is important is that it will save you from embarrassment. Imagine a friend walking to your kitchen only to realize that it is such a bad idea to open your refrigerator. If you leave spoilt food in the refrigerator, it will eventually start giving off bad stench. If you have no plan of using a food anytime soon, the bin is the best place to keep it not the refrigerator.
There several speculations on how the day came into existence. Whirlpool Home Appliances is credited for starting the day but others suggest that the day was ambiguously created to make room for the leftover after the Thanksgiving.
