A refrigerator is a reasonably common appliance in every Vietnamese kitchen, but do you know how to clean the fridge properly? Usually, people think that how to clean the refrigerator seems simple, but it is an art for homemakers. For example, most people take leftovers out of the fridge, cover up what's still usable, or throw away spoiled items, and then you're done with the cleanup. But that's not enough. There are many "culprits" that can contribute to the proliferation and development of bacteria, adversely affecting the whole family's health.
Here are eight essential steps to help you clean the refrigerator properly in just one hour.
1. Prepare
Step 1:
- To ensure safety and save energy, you should unplug the refrigerator before cleaning.
- Then, open the door to remove all the food from the refrigerator. Pack perishables in an insulated cool box or small styrofoam box with ice for temporary storage. Throw away leftovers, stale food, or other condiments.
Step 2:
- To clean the inside and outside of the cabinet, you should prepare a few soft clothes.
2. Implementation
Step 3:
- First, wipe from top to bottom, from outside to inside, the surfaces of the cabinet with warm water and a soft cloth.
Step 4:
- Next, you wash the ice tray, icebox, and other trays, shelves, and bins with warm water or use baking soda powder and dry them carefully.
Step 5:
- Next is to wipe the door and door cushions, especially the bottom door cushions or stains. The rubber seal on the refrigerator door is a spot that is often forgotten.
- When cleaning the cabinet, use a rag dipped in warm water and white vinegar to wash away the dirt, mold, and animal hair that are hiding there.
- Remember to clean this rubber layer every few weeks to prevent bacteria from entering the food.
Step 6:
- After cleaning the refrigerator components and door seals, return the cabinet components to their original positions.
Step 7:
- In addition, you can also do one more way to clean the refrigerator, which is to clean the back of the fridge. First, pull the fridge gently and quietly forward, then clean the dust, soot, and stains on the back of the refrigerator, floors, and walls with a vacuum cleaner.
Step 8:
- Clean the water trough behind the refrigerator. The water in the water trough behind the refrigerator will often evaporate due to the heat emitted from the refrigerator's motor because most refrigerators today have very little water output.
- If you find that the back of the cabinet has a foul smell or the water trough has too much dirt, you can remove it to empty the water and clean it again.
- Dirt clinging to the electrical system behind the cabinet is the cause of the cabinet's rapid deterioration. To better preserve the refrigerator, it is necessary to pay attention to vacuuming the back of the fridge regularly.
Step 9:
- After cleaning the back and installing components to their original position, plug the cabinet back into operation and turn the temperature control knob to the normal cooling position.
Note
- Do not use soap or chemicals to clean the refrigerator, as it will leave an odor inside the fridge.
- Never use brushes, bleach, chemical solvents, benzene, gasoline, acids, or boiling water to clean any part of the cabinet. Because these substances will cause deformation and damage to the outer surface of plastic parts.
- Do not allow water or snow to flow into the return air outlet in the freezer compartment.
- If the refrigerator is splashed with water, use a dry cloth to clean the door.
