Also make sure the rag is not completely wet/saturated? I haven't had a problem with anything freezing when I work quick, but it may also be the type of freezer and the temp settings. I remember my mom would always defrost her freezer to clean it, so maybe it depends on the type.

I am ok with my current freezer organization, but it could use a really good cleaning. Every time I try to wipe up assorted crumbs, spills, leaks etc. the cleaning product freezes to the surfaces and I end up with a bigger mess. To completely clean, I would need to defrost - and what do I do with my freezer full of food for the day or two it would take?

Everything always feels fresh and clean when I am done, and I have been very happy with the switch.<br /><br />I made the switch both for eco purposes and cost purposes. I appreciate knowing what is in the cleaners I use and the cost savings and reduction in bottle purchases has been a huge plus as well.<br /><br />xoxo!IHeart Organizinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05084013302005288836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-56042435014223498782014-03-25T20:40:44.343-05:002014-03-25T20:40:44.343-05:00Loving all the house cleaning posts recently.

The big problem is the bottom drawer is not square or rectangle but instead has a sloped back, which is so annoying and impossible to put bins in without wasting a ton of space. With all freezers, I think they key is constantly maintaining order and "fixing" the efforts of other family members. Freezer looks great, Jen!
