Domestic Cleaning Tips – Cleaning Your Fridge

November 27, 2022 by Lauren Palmer

The kitchen is the heart of a house. And a refrigerator is the workhorse of the kitchen. This makes it one of the most important electronic equipment in your household. Almost all of your food will be stored in your fridge, which makes it extremely important for you to ensure the utmost hygiene and cleanliness inside and outside of your fridge. Cleaning your refrigerator and keeping it clean will help you keep your family safe and healthy. Here are a few tips that will help you give your fridge a much-needed cleanup:

Empty The Fridge First

To clean your fridge properly, you must empty it first. However, there are a bunch of things that you need to do at this time. While emptying all the shelves, be sure that you check the expiration date of each packaged product. This way, you will be able to discard everything that has expired or gone bad. Also, be sure that you keep all the meat and dairy products in a cool bag with freezer blocks to ensure they stay fresh while you clean.

Take Out the Shelves

It is better to let the shelves come at room temperature before you take them out. Cold shelves can easily crack or break while you remove them. Once you have cleaned all the shelves, be sure to pat them dry. Also, ensure that you take a closer look as to which shelf goes where as this might get confusing when you are putting them back.

Wipe Down the Seals

These are probably one of the most overlooked parts while cleaning a refrigerator. However, the door seals, also known as the gaskets, can easily collect crumbs and spills. You can use an old toothbrush to clean this part. To wipe it down, consider making your own solution by mixing vinegar in water. Simply dip a soft cloth in the solution and wipe down the seals to clean up all the gunk.

Banish The Odor

You may notice a funky smell in your refrigerator. To get rid of it, you can use vinegar or bicarbonate soda to clean your fridge. You can also leave a bowl with the bicarbonate soda inside, which can last you up to three months before you have to replace it. You can even sprinkle some bicarb in the drawers and side shelves to remove the odor.

Clean The Freezer

To clean your freezer, you need to defrost it first. Before you do this, take out all the food items and store them in a frozen bag. Now, you can prepare a solution with some warm water and distilled vinegar. Fill it up in a spraying bottle to spray over the freezer walls. You can then simply wipe down the walls to get a squeaky clean freezer.

Cleaning a refrigerator is definitely a tedious task for some. But you can hire professionals like End of Tenancy Cleaning London, who will get all of this done and much more for you. With their unique cleaning solutions and equipment, you will be able to get your entire house cleaned up professionally without any hassle!
