Fridges & Freezers

While knowing how to clean a fridge should be a simple matter, sometimes it can be tricky. Here are  some fridge cleaning tips to help you get the job done better.

Before you begin, turn up the cooling in your fridge. Turning up the cooling will allow you to keep fresh vegetables and other perishable items cool while you clean the fridge. Next, remove everything from the fridge (including ice trays) and discard anything that is not fresh or does not smell right. Also, check the expiration date on milk cartons, chocolates and other eatables.

Next, remove the shelves, crispers and trays. Handle all glass shelves with care and use a clean soapy rag to clean the entire fridge and shelves. Do not use strong chemical cleaners to clean the shelves or the inside of the fridge. Make sure you clean every nook and cranny of the fridge and use a water and vinegar mixture to clean the innards of the fridge; this will remove any soap that might have remained from the previous cleaning.

Once you have cleaned the fridge and shelves, replace the shelves and immediately put back all remaining food items.

Finally, clean the exterior of the fridge using a suitable cleaner.
