Do you hate pulling out those cumbersome fruit and vegetable bins to clean them? So do we! Here’s what to do…
For easy cleanup (and to prevent messes), line the fruit/vegetable and meat drawers with old plastic place mats (or even with cheap new mats from the dollar store). You may have to cut them to fit, but considering how easy they are to wipe clean, it will be worth the effort. You can easily remove the mats to clean them rather than pulling out the entire drawer.
If you don’t want to bother cleaning place mats, line the drawers with paper towels. They will provide some protection and help absorb moisture, which means that the fruit will last longer.
Some people try to line drawers with plastic wrap, but we’ve found that the paper towels are much more cooperative.
