How to Clean the Inside of a Fridge

Keeping the inside of your fridge clean ensures your food stays fresh and your appliance runs efficiently. Follow these simple steps for a thorough and safe cleaning process.

Step 1: Disconnect the Fridge from Power

Before you begin cleaning, always disconnect the fridge from the power source. This ensures your safety while cleaning and prevents any electrical issues.

Step 2: Remove Shelves and Drawers

Take out all the removable parts, including shelves and drawers. These can be cleaned separately for a more thorough cleaning of the fridge’s interior.

Step 3: Clean with a Soft Damp Cloth

Using a soft damp cloth, clean the fridge's interior, door gasket, door surface, and all removable parts. Make sure to wipe away any spills, food residue, or stains. This helps maintain a hygienic environment inside your fridge.

Step 4: Avoid Wetting Electrical Parts

When cleaning inside the fridge, do not wet any electrical parts, such as the light cover.

Moisture in these areas can cause electrical malfunctions, so be cautious when cleaning around them.

Step 5: Dry Thoroughly

After cleaning, dry the interior and all surfaces thoroughly. Moisture left inside the fridge can lead to unpleasant odors and mold growth.

Step 6: Avoid Harsh Chemicals and Abrasives

Do not use abrasives or chemical cleaning materials on any part of the fridge. These can damage the surfaces, including the door gasket and removable parts. Stick to mild soap

and water or a gentle cleaning solution to protect your appliance.

Step 7: Reconnect the Power

Once the fridge is clean and dry, reconnect it to the power and return the removable

parts, such as shelves and drawers, to their proper places.

By following these steps, you’ll keep the inside of your fridge clean and well-maintained,

ensuring it runs smoothly and keeps your food fresh.
