Serious question, how do people keep their fridge shelves from getting sticky residue?
I was at my sister's place last week and she pulled out a container of old spaghetti sauce that leaked all over her middle shelf, and she just wiped it down with a wet rag like it was nothing. Meanwhile I've tried vinegar, baking soda, even that fancy degreaser spray from the hardware store on my own fridge and I still end up with little tacky spots where stuff sat. Is there some trick I'm missing or do I just need to replace the whole shelf?

I grabbed a box of those Mr. Clean Magic Erasers from the dollar store a few months back and they took off all that old sticky gunk from a spilled soda I had. Just wet it a little and scrubbed gently, no chemicals needed and it came out like new.

Have you tried wiping it down with rubbing alcohol? I know it sounds weird but that's what I use on my own fridge and it cuts through the sticky stuff way better than vinegar or baking soda ever did. Just put some on a paper towel and let it sit on the sticky spots for like 30 seconds before wiping. The alcohol breaks down whatever's stuck on there without leaving any residue behind, in my experience. Your mileage may vary though depending on what leaked.
