A Fresh Start: Tips for Cleaning Your Refrigerator Inside and Out!

Cleaning your refrigerator is an important task that not only helps keep your food fresh but also ensures that your appliance runs efficiently. Here are some smart ways to clean your refrigerator inside and out:

1. Empty and Sort: Start by removing all the contents from your refrigerator and sorting them into three categories: keep, discard, and donate. This will make it easier to clean the shelves and drawers.
2. Unplug the Refrigerator: To clean the outside of the refrigerator, it’s best to unplug it from the power source. This will help you avoid any electrical hazards.
3. Use a Gentle Cleanser: Avoid using harsh chemicals that can damage the surfaces of your fridge. Instead, use a gentle cleanser like a mixture of baking soda and water or a mild soap and water solution.
4. Clean the Interior: Remove all the shelves and drawers and wash them with warm, soapy water. Rinse them thoroughly and dry them before putting them back in the refrigerator.
5. Wipe Down the Exterior: Use a soft cloth and a mild cleaning solution to wipe down the exterior of the refrigerator. Pay special attention to the door handles and other areas that get touched frequently.
6. Clean the Gaskets: The rubber gaskets around the doors can harbor dirt and bacteria. Clean them with a mixture of water and vinegar to remove any grime.
7. Vacuum the Coils: The coils at the back of the refrigerator can collect dust and debris, which can reduce the efficiency of the appliance. Use a vacuum with a brush attachment to clean the coils.
8. Check the Temperature: Once you’ve cleaned the refrigerator, check the temperature settings to ensure that it’s running at the optimal temperature to keep your food fresh.

By following these smart tips, you can keep your refrigerator clean and running efficiently for years to come.
