Follow these steps for a thoroughly clean refrigerator. This process ensures that every nook and cranny is addressed, leaving your fridge fresh, organized, and hygienic. Let’s get started on making your fridge sparkle from the inside out.
Empty Out: Take everything out of the fridge. Check expiration dates and discard any old or spoiled food.
Remove Parts: Take out all removable shelves, drawers, and compartments. Let them warm up first to prevent cracking.
Wash & Dry: Wash the shelves and drawers with warm, soapy water. Rinse them thoroughly and dry completely before putting them back.
Clean Interior: Wipe down the inside of the fridge, including the walls, door seals, and any non-removable parts.
Restock: Put everything back in an organized way. Wipe down jars and containers before placing them back inside.
Here’s a more detailed look at the key stages of cleaning your fridge. Following these steps will ensure a deep, lasting clean.
Step 1: The Great Empty-Out Work quickly to keep food safe. Use a cooler for perishables like milk and meat. This is the perfect time to declutter.
Step 2: The Great Empty-Out Use a soft cloth to avoid scratching surfaces. Pay special attention to the door gaskets, where crumbs and spills often hide.
Step 3: Smart Restocking Group similar items together. Place items that expire soonest at the front. Don’t overcrowd the shelves to allow for proper air circulation.
A deep clean is great, but regular maintenance is key to keeping your fridge fresh. Here are a few tips to maintain that just-cleaned feeling.
Arvo (regular) is a playful serif font face, which is meant to be used specifically for headlines, titles and the logo only.
Wipe Spills Immediately Don’t let spills sit and become sticky messes. A quick wipe with a damp cloth can prevent bigger cleaning jobs later. Didactic Gothic (regular) is a simple san serif font face,
appropriate for body and smaller legal sized copy.
Deodorize Naturally Place an open box of baking soda on a back shelf to absorb odors. Replace it every three months for best results.
