More Adventures in Pinterest

There's a tip that I found on Pinterest that claims to make cleaning your fridge simple.

What you do is line the shelves and drawers with Glad Press & Seal wrap. Then whenever it's time to "clean" the fridge, you just have to pull off the plastic liner and replace it.

In theory, this is AWESOME!

So here is what one of my covered shelves looked like:

Obviously I didn't cover the wire shelves.

Practically though, this is what actually happened:
1. It was really hard to get the wrap to stick to my glass shelves. I pressed, and smoothed, and pressed again, but it wouldn't stick all over.

2. The wrap tore occasionally when I was placing items on the shelves.

3. Probably the worst and most condemning problem, there was a sticky residue that was almost impossible to remove left on my shelves when I "cleaned" the fridge a little more than a month later.

Here are the pictures of the goo left over AFTER I tried to scrape it off:

It's probably difficult to tell, but the blue smudges are from my sponge going across the sticky dots.

On this one there's just a line of dots left on the plastic edge. 

So I would NOT recommend using Press & Seal as a means of keeping your fridge clean. Unless of course you don't care if there is sticky residue on the fridge. This would also work if you continued using Press & Seal on your shelves forever more.

But of course, that's just my opinion and there's a good chance I did something wrong just because.
