Let me show you how to keep your cool when cleaning your refrigerator on Day 3 of the Spring Cleaning Spree 2024! My first tip when cleaning out your fridge is to take a picture of how it looks when it’s all put together. This helps take any guess work out when it’s time to put your clean shelves and drawers back inside. Our refrigerators can house a lot of interesting smells, so I love to use a mixture of water/vinegar/Dawn Dish soap for my cleaning solution. Not only is it food safe, but the vinegar does a great job at deodorizing those unwanted odors. And don’t worry, that vinegar smell will also dissipate in a short period of time. If you do notice that your fridge does not seem to be running as efficiently as it used to, I would suggest pulling your fridge out from the wall and checking the coils on the back. Dust loves to collect here and can cause your refrigerator to not work as well as it once did. I love using a soft bristle brush attachment on my vacuum to gently suck up and trap all the dirt and grime.
