I cleaned with the same water, vinegar, lemon juice, and elbow grease combo as the interior of the refrigerator. There wasn't any waste, but since this was the refrigerator of a client I work with, I had to move staff items to the staff freezer. I have no idea why people are too lazy to go one room over to store their own things and not clutter up the client's space.

Nice work Kevin!

If you can just make a note if everything went back in the freezer or if you disposed of anything. If so, how did you dispose of it? (aka - feed to livestock, compost, ect)

Then I can certify the BB!
