Need help!
Organizing my fridge. I wish I could use the shelves on my fridge door, but I can't, everything falls out when I open the door. Does anyone else have this problem?
I can fit milk, and tonic bottles, yet dressings, pickle jars, ketchup, mustard..........all fall out. Any ideas on how I could utilize this space? Do they sell an item for this problem?
If they don't maybe a basket?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Is the piece that is supposed to be keeping those item in falling out? (The "railing" for lack of a better term.)
If it is, I'd suggest using some super glue on them, and then trying again with plastic only bottles.
Mine comes out from time to time, and I really need to put some super glue on it, but it happens so infrequently (maybe 1x a year) that I have never bothered.
Other than that, I don't really have any suggestions right now....

I forget who but someone here posted a Martha Stewart idea of putting spring rods up to hold cookies sheets like a plate rack. I sounds like mabe they could work in you fridge to hold the bottles in. More than likely being white they would blend right in.
My only other thought would be a plastic bin. I wouldn't use a basket it might get moldly it's a little damp in the fridge.

I'm sorry, I didn't explain myself well. The railing is fine, except these bottles slide out underneath or over the railing part,because they are loose in there and end up rolling around and dropping on the floor.

Maybe you could cut a paper grocery bag to fit. It'd keep the shelf clean too!

I went back to the fridge door and I have a jog going down the center, so the rod won't work for my door
I am so looking forward to picking out our new appliances. I will be examining each and every door set up. LOL
Until then I think I'm going to look for a wire basket to contain all the roaming condiments and such. Thats about the best I can come up with for now.
Well it at least looks great after Amy's challenge, door and all!
Thanks again.
