How Often Does The Fridge Need Maintenance? π§βοΈ
To keep your fridge clean and hygienic, it is recommended to perform a thorough cleaning at least once every month. π§Όπ§½
Inspect for Spills and Crumbs: Carefully examine the interior of your fridge for any spills or crumbs that may have been missed or forgotten. ππ
Cleaning Process: Use a clean, microfiber cloth and, if necessary, a damp cloth with mild detergent to wipe down the shelves, drawers, and interior walls. Pay special attention to areas prone to spills, such as the vegetable crispers and door compartments. π§Ίπ§Ό
Thorough Drying: After cleaning, make sure to thoroughly dry all surfaces to prevent the growth of mold or mildew. π¦
Regular Wipe-Down: Wipe the exterior surface of your fridge with a clean, microfiber cloth to remove any fingerprints, smudges, or dirt. πͺπ§½
Stainless Steel Fridges: If your refrigerator has a stainless steel finish, use a stainless steel cleaner or polish like Bar Keepers. π§΄π€
How often should I defrost my freezer? π§βοΈ
The need for defrosting depends on the type of freezer you have. Manual defrost freezers require defrosting approximately once every 6 to 12 months, or when the ice buildup reaches a thickness of around 1/4 inch. πβοΈ
