Kitchen refrigerators are an integral part of our daily life. Not only can they keep food fresh, but they can also preserve food for a long time. However, over time, the surface of the refrigerator may become sticky and smelly, and the cooling effect may decrease, so regular cleaning and maintenance are required. This article will introduce how to properly clean and maintain the kitchen refrigerator.

Preparations for cleaning the kitchen and refrigerator

1. Prepare cleaning utensils: cleaner, dishwashing liquid, sponge, cleaning towel, deodorant, water, etc.

2. Empty the refrigerator: Before starting to clean the refrigerator, take out all the food in the refrigerator and dispose of it properly or temporarily move it to another location.

3. Power off: Remember to unplug the power supply of the refrigerator, otherwise there will be a risk of electric shock.

Steps to clean the kitchen refrigerator

The cleaning of the refrigerator is usually divided into two parts: internal and external. The specific steps are as follows:

Internal cleaning:

1. Clean the refrigerator: Use a sponge and warm water to clean the inside of the refrigerator and the shelves, and do not use detergents containing corrosive substances. When the cleaning box is small and difficult to clean, you can replace it with a new one or wipe it with a towel.

2. Clean the freezer: Take out all the thawed or expired food, then clean the freezer with a clean sponge and warm water. Use a brush to clean the cooler of the refrigerator. To prevent mildew and odor in the refrigerator, clean the freezer.

3. Clean the refrigerator door: The door of the refrigerator is used frequently, so the inside and outside of the door need to be cleaned, especially the sealing strip part of the door, which is cleaned with a sponge one by one.

4. Clean up the trend: There is a trend on the surface of the refrigerator, and oil stains and sundries often adhere. At this time, you can clean it with a brush.

External cleaning:

1. Clean the surface of the kitchen refrigerator: Wash the surface of the refrigerator with warm water and soap or professional cleaner, and then dry it with a clean towel.

2. Clean the back of the refrigerator: The back of the refrigerator is a radiator, which is difficult to clean. You can use a brush to remove the dirt on the surface, and then use a vacuum cleaner to absorb the dust.
