The cling film trick is a clever and increasingly popular way to keep your refrigerator clean, organized, and low-maintenance — with minimal effort.
While cling film is typically used to wrap leftovers, a new trend is repurposing it for lining fridge surfaces. The goal? Less mess, faster cleaning, and a more hygienic fridge. This simple household hack is catching on for good reason — it’s practical, affordable, and incredibly effective.
Why Use Cling Film in the Refrigerator?
The main purpose of this trick is to protect surfaces and simplify cleaning. By lining your fridge with cling film, you prevent food drips, spills, and stains from sticking directly to your shelves or drawers.
Apply cling film to:
-
Shelves – Catches spills and crumbs from containers or produce
-
Fruit & vegetable drawers – Prevents sticky build-up and trapped moisture
-
Door compartments – Stops drips from sauces, milk, and condiments
Instead of deep-cleaning your fridge every week, simply peel off the used film and replace it. It’s that easy!
How to Apply Cling Film in the Fridge
-
Clean First: Wipe down all surfaces to remove dirt, crumbs, or spills before applying the film.
-
Cut to Fit: Use scissors to cut strips of cling film to match the size of each shelf or drawer.
-
Apply Evenly: Smooth the film across each surface, avoiding creases or air bubbles.
-
Replace Regularly: Change the film every 2–3 weeks or as soon as it gets dirty.
