Crockpot Pulled Pork... Yeah Right!!!

So today I went to put a pork roast in the crock pot.... the blood from it had leaked out all over the shelf and down into the drawer BLECH! Why am I not a vegetarian anymore? Sometimes I still wonder.. If you don't like blood don't look at the next two pictures. So I went ahead and took everything off the shelf and out of the drawer so I could wash it. Of course it then got on the shelf below..

This is where it had leaked onto the shelf
This is just a SMALL amount of the blood.
There was a ton more
Since two shelves had to be washed it meant the entire fridge needed to be cleaned out. It just happened to work out that tomorrow is trash day.
Fridge Before

Stuff I was taking out to clean up the mess.

Instead of filling up my trash can with everything from the fridge that needed to be tossed I came up with a great idea. To use something with wheels that I don't use very often. 
This is normal right? Everyone uses a stroller to clean out their fridge.


It worked perfect!
 After I got everything out that needed to be tossed I went on to clean the shelves. I didn't want to use clorox or windex. I didn't want the chemical smell to linger. I recently had bought Method Glass and Surface Cleaner. It is a natural glass cleaner and smells like mint! I love it! It doesn't have a lingering smell either! I also don't like to use paper towels in my house, both to cut down on waste and save money. Instead I use unpaper towels. They are cloth "paper" towels that have snaps to snap together onto a roll like paper towels. I love them! I got them from this lovely Etsy shop owner Ashley. Click her name or the pictures of them to visit her shop.

On the roll.

I use a wet bag for the dirty ones then wash them.

This is the back of  them.
After cleaning all the shelves and taking off the ones on the door and wiping down the door I put everything back in the fridge. It looks like it is time to go grocery shopping. Anybody want a pickle?
After :) oh so clean!!

I got a pickle, I got a pickle, I got a pickle hey hey hey!
I keep my eggs in the basket so I can just reach in and grab
what I need.
 So needless to say I didn't make pulled pork today. I did however end up with a clean fridge.. now the freezer.. that's for another day. What have I learned from this experience? Don't try to make pulled pork you'll have to clean the fridge!
