Don't get us wrong — overall, the fridge is a great invention, and a worthy addition to modern kitchen technology. That being said, it certainly could've been designed in a way that made it a little easier to clean. From forgetting your produce exists until it starts to leak strange juices out of its drawer, to the regular crumbs, sauces, and other minor spills that build up over time, keeping your fridge simultaneously well stocked, well organized, and sparkling clean is a near herculean task. No one item can solve all your food storage problems, but we're pretty sure that Aldi's simple but genius fridge liners are your best bet when it comes to making a dent in keeping your refrigerator shelves and drawers in tip-top shape.

The Crofton Fridge Liners that the grocery chain carries, one of many great kitchen finds at Aldi, come in a large roll, made so that you can cut them to size to fit in your fridge model. They're made to slide in on top of your shelf or drawer bottom, and slide out when you're ready to clean or replace them. For a small spill, you can pull one liner out to wipe down that specific section, making the process infinitely simpler than it would be if you had to remove half of your food items, pull out the whole glass shelf, and attempt to clean it in your too-small kitchen sink. The accessory is, unfortunately, often out-of-stock, but if anything, that's just a sign that it's worth the purchase if you do happen to stumble upon it on your weekly Aldi trip.

Of course, Aldi doesn't have a monopoly on the world of fridge liners, and if you can't track any down there but are desperate for an organizational solution, we've got some options for you. Amazon has some more colorful washable mats by Psiso, while Walmart's pack of six reversible liners are machine washable, quick-drying, and come in fun colors and patterns. There's a range of price points depending on how high quality of an item you're looking for. Be careful though — once you get one fridge organization accessory to help you keep everything tidy, you won't be able to stop.

If you are feeling inspired, we do have a couple of other creative fridge organization suggestions for you. Our ultimate favorite? A well-placed lazy Susan you never thought to use in your fridge. Whether for sauce bottles, jams and jellies, milks and juices or something else entirely, the spinning disk swaps rooting around on each shelf, desperately hunting for that one item that's tragically buried behind 32 others, for a simple spinning look at everything in the array. We recommend using this tool for the type of food you're most likely to entirely forget you have (we're looking at you, vegetables). That way, you're much less likely to have to deal with rotted foods or sauces that explode after being years past their expiration date — making your fridge liners' jobs a little easier, and yours doubly so.
