7 easy steps to clean your fridge

Cleaning your fridge is an important task to ensure food safety and maintain a clean and hygienic environment. Here's a step-by-step guide on the correct way to clean your fridge:

1. Preparation:

   • Turn off and unplug the fridge to ensure safety and save energy.
   • Remove all the items from the fridge and place them in a cooler with ice packs to keep them cold while you clean.

2. Emptying and Sorting:

   • Take out all the shelves, drawers, and removable parts from the fridge.
   • Discard any expired or spoiled food items.
   • Sort the remaining items, wiping off any spills or debris, and place them aside.

3. Interior Cleaning:

   • Prepare a cleaning solution by mixing equal parts of warm water and mild dish soap or a solution of equal parts of water and vinegar.
   • Dip a clean cloth or sponge into the solution and gently scrub the interior surfaces, including the walls, shelves, and drawers.
   • Pay special attention to any stains, spills, or sticky areas.
   • Avoid using abrasive cleaners, bleach, or harsh chemicals as they can damage the fridge's surfaces.
   • For tough stains or odors, you can use a baking soda paste (baking soda mixed with water) or a commercial refrigerator cleaner following the manufacturer's instructions.
   • Rinse the cloth or sponge frequently and change the cleaning solution if it becomes dirty.

4. Shelves, Drawers, and Door Seals:

   • Wash the shelves and drawers with the same cleaning solution or warm soapy water.
   • For stubborn stains or stuck-on food, you can soak them in the solution for a few minutes before scrubbing.
   • Rinse thoroughly to remove any soap residue and allow them to air dry.
   • Clean the door seals (gaskets) using a mild solution of water and vinegar, and wipe them dry.

5. Exterior Cleaning:

   • Wipe the exterior surfaces of the fridge, including the doors, handles, and control panel, with a damp cloth and mild soap or vinegar solution.
   • Dry the surfaces with a clean, dry cloth.

6. Reassembling and Restocking:

   • Once everything is dry, put the shelves, drawers, and removable parts back into the fridge.
   • Return the food items to the fridge, ensuring they are properly organized and labeled.
   • Check the expiry dates and discard any expired products.

7. Powering On:

   • Plug the fridge back in and allow it to cool for approximately 15-30 minutes before returning perishable items.
   • Adjust the temperature settings as needed.

Remember to clean your fridge regularly, ideally once every three months or as needed, to maintain cleanliness and food safety.
