Keeping the refrigerator clean and odourless is non-negotiable to maintain hygiene. To maintain cleanliness and safety, regular cleaning is crucial. Wondering what to do to keep it squeaky clean? Here’s a list of things to do.
This ensures a deep, hygienic clean as it takes out hidden crumbs, spills, and bacteria. After removing, soak them in warm, soapy water before cleaning them
Scrubbing with warm, soapy water is essential for a deep cleaning, as it removes stubborn spills and sanitises the food storage areas.
To remove the hard stains, use a mixture of either vinegar and warm water or baking soda and hot water. Wipe the interior well.
This helps maintain order within the refrigerator. Organise storage by categorising the items and placing them in different shelves or airtight boxes.
To keep the refrigerator odourless, place either an open box containing baking soda or a bag of dry coffee grounds inside, as they absorb foul odours.
