By cleaning regularly we can stop the spread of bacteria and odors as well as maintain the cooling effect and save energy. Despite knowing all this, actually cleaning out our refrigerator can seem like a daunting task. Below you can find 6 simple steps to cleaning your refrigerator thoroughly.

Step 1

First, unplug the refrigerator from its power source.

Step 2

Next, take out all the produce inside your refrigerator and place them in ice to keep them fresh.

Step 4

Clean the outside of the refrigerator. Wipe the surface and handles with a soft, damp cloth using a drop of dish soap. Use a drier cloth or sponge when cleaning any switches, lights, or temperature controls.
