A no hassle guide to cleaning your fridge

When was the last time you cleaned your fridge? A fridge is the heart of the kitchen, we rely on it to store our food and keep it at the desired temperature, and research shows that we don't clean them nearly as often as we should. A neglected fridge is not just a sorry sight, it can also house harmful dirt and bacteria you don’t want near your food. Here’s a quick guide on effective, simple, fridge cleaning:
Clear the decks
Take all food out of the fridge and remove the shelves and drawers. It will make cleaning much easier and you won't contaminate your food with cleaning products.
Deep clean
Clean all the surfaces, including all the nooks and crannies, with a soft cloth using a mixture of warm water and dishwashing liquid. Be sure not to clean plastic materials with detergents that contain alcohol.
Get the extras
Clean the gutter and the discharge opening for the water from the thawed frost deposits. A drinking straw is great for this.
Thaw it
Defrost the freezer compartment everytime the frost build-up is more than 3-5 mm thick. Or, at the very least, before your drawers are frozen shut. If you hate defrosting, our NoFrost appliances make this annoyance a thing of the past.
Maintenance
Prevention is always better than the cure. Make sure your fridge stays as clean as possible, wipe all spills as soon as they appear and always throw away outdated food.
