How often do you clean the fridge?

If there's a job I don't like, it's to clean the fridge, on average I clean it 3 to 4 times a year. Yesterday I realized that someone spilled milk in the fridge, of course there's no point in asking who did it, because it was never anyone 
I have to take some time this afternoon to clean it up, I had other things planned but they will have to wait.
To clean it, I only use water and baking soda, I avoid using chemical products.
What do you use to clean your fridge and how often do you do it?

A thorough cleaning a few times a year but mostly I try to keep it clean so it's not a huge mess.

@nela13 it's definitely harder to keep it clean when you have a family. When my children were growing up I had to constantly be wiping up spills, etc

@Marilynda1225 Yes, it is difficult to maintain things as we wish.

Not often enough. Actually, I'm embarrassed to say rarely. Guess I will put that on my to do list for this weekend, lol.

Our fridge doesn't really get that messy as I try to keep everything neat, organized and clean. Its easier for me to maintain that way. When something spills I clean immediately. When I see a part gets dirty, I clean right away. Everything that I put inside has been washed or wiped and are usually placed inside storage bins or containers. I deep clean twice a year and simple dish soap and water does the job for me.

@pitsipeahie I try to do this but with the rush of every day it is sometimes difficult.

@nela13 And for me its a lot easier work and effort than having to clean a stain in the fridge that's been there for so long its all dried up and hard to scrub away.

I just use water. But, I like you, it is one of the jobs I hate to do. I do it maybe 3 or 4 times a year too, but I take out jars and put some order into shelves oftener.

I also do that but every now and then a deep clean is needed, especially with two kids at home that messy it easily.

I tend to clean the fridge sporadically when I notice it needs it. I usually clean a couple of shelves this time and a couple more the next time. My wife will also do this. In a year, the whole fridge probably gets cleaned 2 or 3 times. Now that our kids are grown and gone, we've noticed it doesn't get as messy.

Clean the fridge......hmm......let me think. Nope. Can't remember cleaning the fridge! 
My Mum puts kitchen roll under things in the fridges, then they get wet and freeze, and stick to the shelves! It's terrible! There's a great clump of frozen kitchen roll at the back of one of the fridges and when I tried to get it out it would NOT move! It is stuck fast! I don't know how to shift it or what to use to shift it.
