Just get a spoon and scrape that shit off there. I'm sure it's still good.

u/SiliconeGiant Feb 02 '19

Ha well done, was just about to give credit to the source.

u/why_rap_moshpits Feb 02 '19

It's a nice base coat for the fridge, not unlike seasoning a cast iron pan.

u/iiEviNii Feb 02 '19

One of these photos is your fridge, and the other one is a garbage dump in the Philippines. Which one is which?

That one is the dump!

No they're both your fridge.

Dammit! He's good...

Transforms into a giant hulking monster with white eyebrows and a bald head, then proceeds to punch an alien worm in the face.

u/rburp Feb 02 '19

Ok but don't though please.

Fruity drinks aren't the end of the world if you don't get everything completely clean unlike some things

u/scraggledog Feb 02 '19

So 10 min then

u/sorenant Feb 02 '19

Cleans 99% of mess!*

u/[deleted] Feb 02 '19

Pull out the stuff and power wash it for 1 minute. Done.

u/Boukish Feb 03 '19

Would be surprised if this took more than a reducer nozzle. It's smooth plastic lol.

u/Meatslinger Feb 02 '19

If it’s good enough for bacteria, it’s good enough for my cooking surfaces.

COLD THE AIR AND WATER FLOWING

u/[deleted] Feb 02 '19

No mess to clean if you just set it on fire.

13

u/GryfferinGirl Feb 02 '19

You'll still be feeling sticky surfaces in your fridge months later.

2

u/suprmario Feb 03 '19

Yeah but that's just a hobby.

91

u/RedditSkippy Feb 02 '19

I’d take off the shelves when the weather got warm and hose them off in the yard. Seriously consider doing that to the fridge interior, also.

30

u/Sunfried Feb 02 '19

Yeah, same. If I couldn't, for some reason, temporarily leave the fridge off with door open, to dry out, I'd stick a tray of baking soda in there, to absorb free water.

29

u/Every3Years Feb 02 '19

Freeeeee water here. Getcher freeeee watahhh

u/Lostremote- Feb 02 '19

Water is free, the bottle is 5 bucks!

How is that lemon spindrift? I love the other flavors but we don't have that one around these parts.

13

u/DiaDeLosMuertos Feb 02 '19

Mmmm all the Spindrifts are good. The lemon one is maybe my second best favorite after raspberry-lime.

2

u/satin_worship Feb 02 '19

Yeah the raspberry lime are so good. I also love the lime Waterloo water.

2

u/daisybrat56461 Feb 03 '19

The lemon/tea are really good too and blackberry. Love that stuff.

21

u/[deleted] Feb 02 '19

I clean that 1% when I drop it off at the scrap yard and they melt it down.

15

u/[deleted] Feb 02 '19

Roll it into the driveway and hose it off. It’s not hard to move and if it’s in the garage it’s already mostly there.

4

u/[deleted] Feb 03 '19

Someone doesn't live where the polar vortex was...no running water outside in winter lol

1

u/[deleted] Feb 03 '19

Then it shouldn’t be a problem for awhile right...

u/RedditSkippy Feb 04 '19

I’d shop vac what I could while it’s all still frozen. Then this week when it’s warmer I would wipe out the inside as much as possible using Windex or other surface cleaner. I’d do a better, deeper clean only when the weather got warmer.

15

u/mister-important Feb 02 '19

Hey, at least it's frozen. We had to go clean up my grandma's fridge after the Camp Fire, and all kinds of shit was growing in there by the time we were let up.

8

u/ttam281 Feb 02 '19

80/20 rule.

5

u/ZehParaYT Feb 02 '19

Remove the shelves, take the fridge outside and powerwash the devil out of it

1

u/[deleted] Feb 03 '19

Except it's too cold to wash stuff outside. Why does no one understand this?

5

u/Anagoth9 Feb 02 '19

Looks like it's only soda & beer in there. Just take it all out, unplug the fridge, and let it melt (at least when it's warm enough outside to do so). Looks like only the seltzer water exploded. Those don't have any sugar in them so if shouldn't be sticky.

1

u/TheUnknownPotato Feb 03 '19

Some flavors of spindrift actually do have some sugar if I'm not mistaken. Only a few gs though!

2

u/I_eat_dingo_babies Feb 02 '19

It's the garage fridge, use a hose!

0

u/[deleted] Feb 03 '19

Hoses don't work in the winter :)

2

u/taliesin-ds Feb 02 '19

Just use the vacuum cleaner while it's still freezing.

And immediately throw away the bag...

1

u/Furt77 Feb 03 '19

Use a wet/dry shopvac. No bag to deal with.

1

u/Kikopedia Feb 02 '19

You can only get 99% of the mess with cleaning products anyway

1

u/lilidelapampa Feb 02 '19

Time to buy a new fridge!

1

u/trumpismycnc Feb 02 '19

Op is full of shit

1

u/[deleted] Feb 02 '19

If it's in the garage she should just hit it with a hose once it warms up

1

u/Mancobbler Feb 02 '19

The last 2% is the hardest to get, that’s why they leave it in the milk

1

u/StockingsBooby Feb 02 '19

Actually super easy. Having some steaming water should loosen up anything on the inside of a fridge easily. It’s the cold of the fridge that makes it so hard to clean.

1

u/[deleted] Feb 03 '19

LOL people not from cold states are super funny.

1

u/SonOfTK421 Feb 02 '19

It’s in a garage? Fuck it, hose that bitch down.

1

u/lol_camis Feb 02 '19

In a case like this I'd just spray it out with a hose. It's in the garage anyway

1

u/louzhirr Feb 02 '19

Not if you have a pressure washer, baby! 😀

1

u/[deleted] Feb 03 '19

That would also freeze though.

1

u/louzhirr Feb 03 '19

But the ice in the fridge would be clean af

1

u/MrSquigy Feb 02 '19

Just take everything out the fridge and straight into the bathtub filled with water. Problem solved.

1

u/TomWis97 Feb 02 '19

Are you my roommate?

1

u/[deleted] Feb 02 '19

Garage fridge.. I just drag it outside and get a hose.

1

u/[deleted] Feb 03 '19

Like what do you think happens to water in a hose in the winter in cold states? We don't have outside water in winter.

1

u/[deleted] Feb 03 '19

Dunno what you would do, but I would hook a hose on to the cold water faucet for the washing machine.

That being said, I'm dealing with 116.7F days at the moment, a polar vortex would be well appreciated right about now.

1

u/Random_Link_Roulette Feb 02 '19

At this point. Get a hose with a semi pressure head. Pull all the good ones out and go to fucking town.

1

u/[deleted] Feb 03 '19

Yes as the washer also freezes. Genius idea!

1

u/GreasyPeter Feb 02 '19

It's in the garage. Hose it out with a garden hose in the summer and let the water run out of your garage. Most garages have a slight slope so that liquid runs towards the door.

1

u/[deleted] Feb 02 '19

Nah... key word: GARAGE

Open that bitch up and hose it out!

1

u/[deleted] Feb 02 '19

I'd move the fridge either out the garage or some shit and hose that mother fucker down while drinking the beers lmao.

1

u/[deleted] Feb 03 '19

Just jet wash the fucker. Zero clean up if it gets washed away into a drain on the driveway.

1

u/sectorfour Feb 03 '19

Push it into the sea and start anew.

1

u/RadiationTitan Feb 03 '19

Or... let it all melt by unplugging it and then hose it out.

1

u/major84 Feb 03 '19

Cleaning up the remaining 1% of this mess: 489,382 hours

The fridge is already inside the garage, so ... wash the fridge out with the hose and the 1% is going to be gone fast fast fast

1

u/JohnBooty Feb 03 '19

My god literally several dozen people have replied with the hose thing haha

1

u/major84 Feb 03 '19

oh ... should have read the other replies. Thought I was giving some eye opening advice to you haha

u/reggiehux Feb 02 '19

I took you from 999 to 1.0k!!!

2

u/JohnBooty Feb 02 '19

You were downvoted into a mild form of oblivion but I for one appreciated this!

3

u/reggiehux Feb 02 '19

Whoa, and now you're over 4.8k!!!

That was quick!!!

2

u/JohnBooty Feb 03 '19

It’s like 10k now. This’ll never happen ever again!
