By Your refrigerator is one of the most important appliances in your home, keeping your food fresh and safe. However, over time, spills, expired food, and hidden grime can build up, leading to unpleasant odors and potential health risks. A deep clean every few months ensures your fridge stays fresh, organized, and hygienic. Here’s how to do it efficiently!
Step 1: Empty Your Fridge
Start by removing all food items. Check expiration dates and toss anything spoiled or no longer needed. Use a cooler to store perishable items temporarily.
Step 2: Remove Shelves and Drawers
Take out all removable parts and soak them in warm, soapy water. For stubborn stains, scrub with a baking soda paste. Let everything air dry before putting them back.
Step 3: Wipe Down the Interior
Mix a solution of equal parts water and white vinegar or a paste of baking soda and water. Use a microfiber cloth or sponge to wipe all surfaces, including walls, door shelves, and the back panel where spills can accumulate.
Step 4: Clean the Door Seals
Fridge door seals often trap dirt and food particles. Use an old toothbrush and warm, soapy water to scrub them gently.
Step 5: Deodorize Naturally
To keep your fridge smelling fresh, place an open box of baking soda inside. You can also use activated charcoal or a small dish of coffee grounds for odor absorption.
Step 6: Organize and Restock
Before placing everything back, group similar items together, use clear containers, and label leftovers with dates. This makes food easier to find and prevents waste.
