The refrigerator is one of the most important appliances in the kitchen, but it is often overlooked when it comes to cleaning. Keeping the refrigerator clean helps prevent bad smell but also ensures the safety of food and prolongs its shelf life.
Steps for effective refrigerator cleaning
- Empty the refrigerator Remove all food and check expiration dates. Throw away anything that has expired or spoiled.
- Empty and clean the shelves Remove the shelves and drawers, wash them with hot water and soap, and dry them thoroughly before putting them back.
- Clean the interior surfaces: Use a solution of hot water and baking soda or white vinegar to eliminate smell and bacteria. Wipe with a soft cloth, do not use blades or abrasives
- Clean the gaskets The door gaskets can accumulate dirt and musty. Clean them gently with a soft brush and a solution of water and soap.
- Reassemble everything: Once dry, put the shelves and food back, being careful not to overload the refrigerator.
