A dirty fridge can lead to a host of issues in your home from odor, to mold, to pests. Here’s a step-by-step for keeping your fridge clean:
-
1. Empty your fridge
The following steps will be much easier once you take everything out of your fridge and freezer. This is also a great way to check each item for mold or spillage.
-
2. Clean the shelves and drawers
Wipe each surface down thoroughly with soapy water or a disinfectant wipe.

3. Clean the fridge's interiors
You can get a very good cleanser to clean all the insides of your fridge or you can use vinegar if you don't want to use chemicals. While cleaning, it is better to use paper towels so you can clean and dry at the same time. Don't ignore the rubber lining the door of your fridge either. Check for dust and clean appropriately.

4. Clean the fridge's exteriors
Wipe down the exterior of the fridge to keep that stainless steel looking good.
