When did you last clean behind your fridge?

Apparently a fridge uses less electricity if the back is regularly cleaned and dusted. I dragged mine out (it is fitted very snuggly between units!) today and cleaned behind it - BUT must admit (and I'm ashamed to do so!) this was the first time I've done this for, ooh, a year - or so! Anybody else admit to being as bad as this? - and no don't ask about the cooker!!

I've never dragged out my fridge so, I guess that makes it ... 36 years (but then that is including ALL of my childhood), hang on, just remembered, cleaned behind the fridge when I moved it out to move house 8 years ago ...

Do it every week :rotfl: as if!!!! Last time was 18 months ago when I moved in here, but moving out soon so it will get a clean :rotfl:

Erm OH does this, every couple of weeks. And behind the cooker, dishwasher and washing machine. He pulls them all out and cleans.

Told him he is the only person I know that does this. Everyone else does it when they move house or when the machine/fridge breaks!!!

Have never cleaned behind my fridge or cooker since I moved into my flat nearly 3 years ago :eek:

Yup!! That's why he does all the cleaning though!! He dusts every room every week. Mops the kitchen and bathroom floors regularly... and continually tells me off for leaving crumbs on the worktop (talking about 4 crumbs not masses) and for spilling stuff in the kitchen :rolleyes:

Pink.

Today! :j

But only because I got my new fridge delivered today!

I keep a couple of sheets of newspaper under both the fridge and washing machine as I figured it might be easier to change the newspaper couple of times a month than face a mega clear out once a year. It does work.....when I remember to do it!
