The major issue of concern these days about refrigerator is how to keep it clean and free from germs & bacteria. Food remains fresh and tasty, if you store it in a clean fridge and there will be no unpleasant odors due to spills or overcrowding. If you regularly clean your fridge, say in every two weeks, it will not take more than 30-45 minutes to make it spic-and-span. Here are a few great tips to guide, how to keep your kitchen workhorse clean and free from bacteria: 1. Empty the fridge: Turn off the power and remove all the food items as well as drinks from the refrigerator and freezer. Throw old and stale food in the trash to make sure your fridge does not have contaminated food. Remove the shelves and drawers so that you can easily wash them, as they are made up of metal or plastic material. 2. Cleaning the Freezer: After taking out everything from the fridge, defrost it. Unplug the power so that the mildew melts down on its own. Once it is done, wipe the interiors with clean cloth. 3. Clean the stains: Take a soft cloth dipped in hot water and rinse the interiors of the appliance with a damp cloth and then dry properly with a clean towel. Do not use soap or detergent, as it will leave behind the fragrance, which can be absorbed by food. In case, you encounter tough stains due to spills, keep warm wet cloth over the spilled area for few minutes to wipe it off easily. You can also use toothpaste to remove stains. 4. Clean the exterior of fridge: After you finish cleaning the interiors and freezer, it is the turn to clean the exterior of fridge. Wipe it with a sponge using hot/warm water and mild dish soap. In case of stainless steel refrigerator, use a soft cloth with a vinegar or window cleaner to provide scratch-free shiny surface. Regularly clean the rubber seal around the edges of door using warm water and detergent, so that dirt does not get collected there leading to cracks. 5. Wipe up: The spills immediately before they get dry. Clean the rims of jars of regularly used food items like jams, ketchups, salad dressing bottles and water bottles before storing them. 6. Remove magnetic stains: Many people put magnets or stickers or memos on the refrigerator, apart from storing food and this generally leads to stubborn stains which are difficult to clean otherwise. Use a mixture of baking soda (1/4 cup), detergent (1/4 cup) and hot water (2cups) and apply it on the stain for 10 minutes. Clean the fridge with dry cloth to make it completely stain-free. 7. Remove bad odor: Regular cleaning of fridge and storing leftover food in airtight containers will prevent unpleasant odors and keep the food fresh. Baking soda is the most effective home remedy to make it smell good. Place an open box of baking soda within the refrigerator and it will absorb the entire odor. It will keep the fridge clean and healthy. Also, do check the expiry dates of the food items as post the date, they will get rotten up and fill the fridge with bad smell. 8. Clean the refrigerator coils: In every five to six months for its proper functioning and ensuring that dust does not get accumulated on it. Make sure you turn off the device to avoid any mishap or electric shock. Clean the exposed coils with the brush attachment of the vacuum cleaner. You should also follow the cleaning and user manuals provided by the leading refrigerator brands like Samsung, Whirlpool and LG, to name a few.
