Hmm.. my fridge needs a basic wipe out weekly as I replace the vegetables.. the other shelves I do about once a month.The big clean I do about twice a year ( seasonal) .
Re the plastics we have been reusing bags that we receive unavoidably.
We made a decision years ago to deliberately avoid plastic packaging. As we shop at open air markets and butchers and bakers( the latter are a bit harder to control) plus we grow a bit of food it’s not too hard to avoid.. mostly.It helps that we cook from scratch and eat very little processed food, I guess..
What we do not have is a bulk supplier like you do ! Very green( with envy that is) !
I recently cleaned out my fridge after my niece stayed and left me a lovely thank you note with a ps saying she'd thrown out all the out of date things🤭 I use Nancy Birtwhistles Clean and Green book as my bible for natural cleaning stuff. Yet to find a refill shop here in Harrogate, there were lots when I lived in NZ. Chinagraph pencil, there's two satisfying words to say!
I came here to recommend @nancybirtwhistle, she’s amazing and brilliant cleaning tips and recipes for acidic and non-acidic (alkaline?) cleaning sprays
That is pure genius, just done my fridge, it’s never looked as clean since new! My Mum used to use soda crystals for deep cleaning, I’d forgotten, and that fizz with the vinegar is so satisfying. Thank you! 🙏
I’ve just found a local bulk supplier, and I’m going to put a beautiful big photo of a whale on the front of our fridge to remind me why I’m trying to eat and clean sustainably.
As an aside, I just found out that a lot of Thai coconut milk is harvested by exploiting monkeys! God, it’s everywhere we turn!

You are more organised than me! It always tends to be spontaneous when I realise it's got away from me.
