Spring cleaning has been a hot topic lately. We sprung forward a few weeks ago, and now is the perfect time to freshen things up. When it comes to cleaning, most people aim for their rooms, bathrooms and kitchens. But what if I told you that there’s one appliance most people don’t clean nearly enough?
Sort through your fridge each week to throw out any expired food or drinks.
Do a deep cleaning of your refrigerator every three to four months. To keep things simple, you may choose to do a deep clean of your fridge at the start of each season. To deep clean your refrigerator, you’ll need to completely clear out all the food and put it in a cooler for safekeeping. Many people choose to try to finish most of the big food items in their fridge just before a deep cleaning, so they don’t have to remove and replace a lot of food.
Be sure to read your refrigerator’s manual so that you know the best way to clean your appliance. In most cases, you will unplug the fridge or turn it off first. Then remove and thoroughly clean all the shelves and drawers in hot, soapy water or other cleaner, then replace them. Clean the walls of the fridge and every surface well. Don’t forget to also clean the door and the interior top of the refrigerator.
