Unscented dish soap, vinegar, or baking soda (though not vinegar and baking soda combined, as that creates a neutral salt water solution) should be enough to get your refrigerator sparkling clean.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">You can use a multipurpose cleaner on the interior, too, and you may want to use a stainless steel cleaner on the exterior if that\u2019s the finish your fridge has.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">When in doubt, err unscented. Foods absorb odors, and you don\u2019t want your meats, veggies, and leftovers tasting like floral soaps.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Take care when using bleach. Read the labels on any cleaning agent you use, whether it\u2019s bleach, ammonia, or just a multipurpose cleaner. Some chemical combinations are extremely dangerous, and even the most harmless-seeming soaps can discolor or cloud certain materials and finishes if used incorrectly!\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"2\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">If you\u2019re handling bleach or ammonia, wear gloves.<\/span><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"2\">One tablespoon of bleach dissolved in one gallon of water should suit your needs for disinfecting.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">If you\u2019re using a magic eraser style sponge, be sure to test it out on a small patch of whatever material you\u2019re cleaning as it can discolor or potentially damage certain surfaces.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>A Step-By-Step Guide To Cleaning Your Refrigerator<\/h2>\n<h3>1. Consider unplugging your refrigerator<\/h3>\n<p>Before you begin, you may want to unplug your refrigerator. This isn\u2019t necessarily a safety concern. Rather, by unplugging your fridge before you start, you won\u2019t waste as much electricity. If you\u2019d rather keep it plugged in, make sure to close the refrigerator each time you\u2019re not in it.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Empty your fridge<\/h3>\n<p>In order to get your refrigerator really clean, you\u2019re going to have to empty it out completely. Not only will clearing your fridge out beforehand make cleaning everything easier, you\u2019ll also familiarize yourself with what you have on hand.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Put things that need to be temperature controlled, like milk and medications, in a cooler with ice. Some foods can simply be left on the counter while you work, but don\u2019t let anything sit out for more than two hours, particularly if it\u2019s a warm day.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">As you work, toss, compost, or recycle extremely expired foods and old leftovers. Make note of the things that are still good but expiring soon, too \u2013 you\u2019ll want to move those to the front of your fridge when you put everything back together again.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Whether you use ice cube trays or an icemaker, check the ice to see if it looks like it\u2019s sublimated. If it\u2019s old, the ice will have shrunk up. Old ice tastes a little too funky to be good in drinks or smoothies, but it can still be used to help keep a cooler cold while you work!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>3. Prep and clean removable bins and shelves<\/h3>\n<p>Time to get to the actual cleaning. Start by removing all bins and shelves. Take care if you have glass shelving, as it can shatter if dropped or knocked too hard.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Let your glass shelves and plastic bins come to room temperature before cleaning them.<\/b> A sudden change in temperature, such as being submerged in warm water while ice cold, will cause certain materials to crack. This is less of a concern with plastics, but may still happen.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Make sure to turn those bins and door shelves upside down over the trash to shake out any crumbs or loose gunk.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Your bins and shelving can be cleaned with dish soap, a sponge, and warm water. Be sure to rinse them thoroughly before calling the job done.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Clean your ice bucket, too, if you have an ice maker! In most modern refrigerators, the ice bucket can be removed by releasing a locking tab.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Let them dry completely before replacing them. While you wait for that, you can move on to the next step\u2026<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>4. Clean your fridge\u2019s interior<\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s time to clean the walls, floors, ceilings, and doors of your refrigerator, as well as any shelves that couldn\u2019t be removed with the bins and drawers.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">A damp sponge or rag can do the trick for most surfaces. Dish soap or a multipurpose appliance cleaner will do the trick here, but you can also employ vinegar if some of those stains are particularly bad.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">If you have any glass shelves that you couldn\u2019t remove, a glass cleaner can be used to get them extra clean.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Got stuck on crud? Wet a sponge or rag with water that\u2019s as hot as you can stand without being burned and press it to the grime. Hold it there for a few seconds and then gradually move the sponge back and forth. This should loosen up stubborn old splatters.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">If that\u2019s not cutting it, make a paste using water and baking soda. This abrasive can be used to scrub away at stains and grime, and applying and scrubbing with a cleaning toothbrush can help<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Wipe down everything thoroughly with a clean, wet rag to rinse, and then dry with a microfiber cloth. Make sure you don\u2019t leave any soapy residue behind, as it will get sticky.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>5. Clean the freezer<\/h3>\n<p>For the most part, cleaning your freezer compartment is the same as cleaning the interior of your fresh food compartment. Just repeat the above steps, and you should be fine.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">A lot of icy build up in your freezer is a sign that something\u2019s wrong. Depending on where the ice is, it could be that a water line from your ice maker is leaking or a component of the defrost assembly is faulty.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Want some more help with a frosty freezer? Check out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/b\/refrigerator-will-not-defrost-top-6-reasons-and-fixes-for-kenmore-whirlpool-frigidaire-ge-and-other-brands-with-video\/\">our guide<\/a> to dealing with a lot of frosty build up in the frozen food compartment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>6. Time for some maintenance<\/h3>\n<p>With your fridge empty and clean, it\u2019s time for a bit of maintenance. Here\u2019s what we suggest:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">First of all, at this point, if you haven\u2019t done so already, <b>unplug your refrigerator. <\/b>Some of these tasks will require interacting with parts that could harm you if the appliance is receiving power.<b> <\/b><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Next, check the water filter and replace it if necessary. You should <a href=\"https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/b\/how-to-replace-a-refrigerator-water-filter\/\">change your refrigerator\u2019s water filter<\/a> every six months or so. Letting it go over isn\u2019t such a big deal, but it can lead to foul tasting and smelling ice and water if left alone. Leave an old water filter in long enough, and it could cause clogs that will damage the refrigerator\u2019s components.\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"2\">If your house has hard water or you use your water dispenser frequently, you may want to consider replacing it more often than twice a year.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Carefully clean the condenser coils and the area around them on the back of the refrigerator with a condenser brush and vacuum. You can do this once or twice a year to make your refrigerator run more efficiently and potentially lower your electric bill!<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Check your refrigerator\u2019s water lines, especially if you\u2019re getting a mildewy smell even after you\u2019ve cleaned everything. If there\u2019s any growth, the line should probably be replaced.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Wipe down the door gaskets for both the freezer and fresh food compartments. You can use dish soap and water on this, but if you notice any mold growth, use vinegar, instead. Rinse and dry the door seals thoroughly with a microfiber cloth or rag once you\u2019re done.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>7. Refill your fridge!<\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s time to put everything back. Start with all of your shelves and bins, then you can move onto food. Check everything as you put it back. The more organized your fridge is, the less you and your family are to waste food.<\/p>\n<p>Consider these tips:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>New stuff in the back.<\/b> If you\u2019ve got two cartons of milk, put the newer carton behind the older one, so the older one gets used first.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Put things that are expiring soon as close to eye level as possible.<\/b> If they\u2019re right there when you open the fridge, you\u2019re more likely to use them.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Add baking soda or activated charcoal to fight bad smells.<\/b> You can put this in the very back of your fresh food compartment.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Line your meat and veggie drawers with tea towels or paper towels.<\/b> These will catch any liquid that seeps out as meat thaws and veggies age. It makes cleaning the bins a bit easier later.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Learn <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/b\/how-to-replace-a-refrigerator-crisper-pan-with-video\/\"><b>how to get the most out of your crisper drawer<\/b><\/a><b>.<\/b> If you use it correctly, your veggies can stay fresher longer, leading to less waste and mess.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Keep meats either in the meat drawer or on the lowest shelf.<\/b> As they defrost, they tend to leak, making messes. Keeping them separate and low in the fridge reduces the risk of cross-contamination with other foods.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Don\u2019t overfill anything. <\/b>You\u2019ll risk breaking shelves and bins by overstuffing them. While having a full freezer can be beneficial, an overly full fresh food compartment will be less efficient about airflow.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>8. Clean the exterior<\/h3>\n<p>You\u2019re just about done! Time to clean the exterior, front panel, handles, and all.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">A damp microfiber cloth should be enough for most surfaces. If you have a stainless steel finish on your fridge, avoid leaving streaks behind when you clean by following the direction of the grain \u2013 no circular motions when you clean!<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Don\u2019t forget the handle. This thing can get particularly grimy, so a little elbow grease may be needed. Just don\u2019t put too much weight on it, you could break one of the mounting points.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">If you have a water dispenser, wipe this down, too.\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"2\">You can remove the bottom tray to more easily clean those nooks and crannies. This is a good time to use that toothbrush.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"2\">If your dispenser has any build up like calcium deposits, you can wrap it in a warm vinegar-and-water soaked rag to try and break some of it up. That old toothbrush can be used to scrub it away once the vinegar has loosened it up.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>A Few Final Cleaning Tips To Consider<\/h2>\n<p>Whether you\u2019re a seasoned scourer or new to this cleaning business, we hope you\u2019ve found some advice that\u2019ll help you out as you clean your refrigerator. Before you go, here are a few final bits of cleaning advice:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Clean your refrigerator seasonally \u2013 about every 3 months \u2013 and if your family is big on feasts, try to schedule it to fall right before you do your shopping for holiday meals. If your fridge is clean and organized beforehand, it\u2019ll be easier to fit those big frozen birds and giant casserole dishes later.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Make sure your condiments, jars, and containers are clean before putting them in your fridge. If you\u2019re putting something sticky or stained in the refrigerator, it\u2019s likely going to leave that mess on the fridge itself.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">While you work, check for damage. Examine the door gasket to see if it\u2019s worn out or torn, check shelves and bins for cracks and breaks, and make sure everything\u2019s working as it should. If your fridge is already cleared out for cleaning, it\u2019s the perfect time to repair or replace any broken components, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/\">AppliancePartsPros.com<\/a> has the tips, tutorials, and parts you need to get the job done!
