Your refrigerator takes the most direct use out of all your
household appliances. Between the constant opening and closing of your fridge
doors; your food is spilling, smelling and expiring. It’s important that you clean
it out regularly so that you can keep your food fresh and eliminate odors.
In
efforts to maintain the cleanliness of your refrigerator, you should be wiping
down its handles and doors weekly to eliminate fingerprints and grime. Affresh
stainless steel cleaner works wonders and is available for purchase on our
website here: http://www.appliance-parts-experts.com/W10355016-stainless-steel-cleaner.html
Another
place you should occasionally be checking and cleaning for crumbs is the door
seals. The door seals can be cleaned with mild dishwashing soap and hot water, and
then cloth dried entirely for best results.
Emptying
everything out of your fridge for cleaning once a season is another good practice
to get into. Make sure you store your food in another fridge or cooler so nothing
can go bad. Unplug your unit and allow for its crisper drawers and glass
shelves to get down to room temperature. Once they have reached room temperature,
you can safely hand wash them with two tablespoons of baking soda for every
quart of warm water, then dry thoroughly to go back inside. You can also clean
the interior of the unit with this baking soda solution to get rid of old remnants
from spills. Be sure to leave the door open for about ten minutes so that it
can soak in, and then wash off with a damp cloth.
To
prevent odors and spoiling from persisting in the future, follow these tips:
-
Clean up spills immediately when they happen
-
Store leftover food in airtight containers only
-
Wipe off jars and bottles before putting them
back in
-
Check expiration dates weekly
