Spring Cleaning for Your Refrigerator

Spring
is officially here, and this is the time of the year when millions of
homeowners start making their spring cleaning list. If you are
looking for some projects to do around your house, consider giving
your refrigerator a thorough cleaning.
Inside and Out
The
first step to a clean refrigerator is to wipe it down with a soapy
rag, inside and out. Remove all food and clean the removable shelves
and drawers in the sink with a mild dish detergent. Then wipe the
interior and exterior of your refrigerator with a rag until all
spills, stains, and visible grime is gone. Dry everything off and put
the shelves and drawers back in your refrigerator.
Condenser Coils
When
was the last time (if ever) that you cleaned your refrigerator’s
condenser coils? These are located on the back of your refrigerator
and release heat as they cool the refrigerant that flows through
them. Clean them twice per year with your vacuum’s brush attachment
to keep your refrigerator running efficiently.
Gasket
The
gasket is the rubber seal that runs along the perimeter of your
refrigerator door and is responsible for keeping the cold air from
leaking out. If you neglect to clean this, it could dry out and
crack, causing it to become ineffective. Wipe this area with a wet
soapy rag to remove any visible residue and coat it with a thin layer
of Vaseline to prevent it from drying out.
Food
Keep a
close eye on the food that goes in your refrigerator and how long it
stays in there. Soiled and expired food can create strong odors that
stay behind long after the food is gone. It is a good idea to comb
through your refrigerator once a week and remove any expired foods.
