A clean fridge not only improves energy efficiency but also extends its lifespan.
Start by unplugging the refrigerator to save electricity, then empty it and discard any expired food.
Remove and hand-wash shelves, and scrub the interior with baking soda to tackle odors.
For hard-to-reach areas, use a toothbrush, especially around gaskets. After cleaning, reinsert shelves and restock the fridge.
To keep odors at bay, place an open box of baking soda inside. Wipe down the outside, clean and dry the drip pan, and vacuum around and under the fridge.
Finally, clean containers before storing them to prevent residue build-up. Following these steps regularly will ensure a fresh, odor-free fridge.
