A Step-by-Step Guide for a Sparkling Fresh Fridge

To remove any remaining smell, moisten a cloth with water and baking soda, then clean the inside of the refrigerator. You can also leave an open box of baking soda inside the fridge to absorb odors continuously.

This step specifies how to remove scratches from a stainless steel refrigerator, requiring a microfiber cloth alongside a stainless steel cleaner. Always clean the floor toward the grain to avoid making streaks. A stainless steel scratch remover kit may easily remove superficial rust-related and minor scratches. Always check the care label on the fabric and use the material’s manufacturer’s recommended cleaning techniques. If the scratch is very deep, you should probably seek the help of a professional cleaner.

Coils and vents positioned at the rear of the refrigerator's base are critical but usually overshadowed. Use a vacuum, possibly with a telescopic wand, for the coils and vent. This step is essential to ensure that your fridge lasts longer and enables it to run effectively.

If you’re also washing the refrigerator, defrost the freezer by opening the door and letting the ice melt before cleaning. Place a bowl containing hot water inside to soften it a little faster. Then, the freezer needs to be cleaned with the same mixture of baking soda and water as the fridge.

Once everything is clean and dry, plug the refrigerator back in and return the shelves, drawers, and food items. Now is an excellent time to organize your food and wipe down jars and containers before placing them back inside.
