A clean and well-organized refrigerator and freezer are not only appealing but also functional. Cooking and meal preparation will be much easier after you clean those two important appliances. Cleaning both of them on the same day is much easier, and you can divide the task into more simple and brief mini tasks if you prefer. Because the process for both the freezer and the refrigerator is nearly identical in each case, cleaning them both on the same day can save you a significant amount of time.
STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE TO CLEANING YOUR REFRIGERATOR AND FREEZER
Both devices should be completely empty.
The first thing you should do before cleaning is to empty both machines. It is critical to dispose of products that are rotten or have passed their expiration date. Check the label of every product you put in the freezer or refrigerator and get rid of anything that isn’t necessary. Following that, try to organize the products by categorizing them. Those that will be returned to the freezer or refrigerator, for example, can be classified as fruits, vegetables, meal preps, leftovers, or beverages.
You should also take out any drawers or shelves that appear to be dirty. Bring them down to the sink to be washed. Alternatively, gently wipe them clean.
ADVICE
If you can’t remove a shelter or drawer by yourself, look online for a Youtube video or advice from someone who has done it before.
Wipe the freezer and refrigerator down from the top to the bottom.
After you’ve emptied the devices, carefully wipe them down. This step differs slightly in terms of the materials required to clean each of the devices. For the refrigerator, use a mixture of Castile soap and warm water. To clean the freezer, simply use a mop towel.
You can also use a clean vacuum cleaner to effectively pick up all the crumbs, dog hair, and anything else that can be found in the crevices of both the refrigerator and the freezer.
If you come across any tough spots, a toothpick will come in handy. You must, however, exercise caution when using it. In fact, it is important that you use it almost parallel to the crevice. That way, it won’t break off and no damage will be done to the machine’s surfaces.
ADVICE
Make it a point to clean out your refrigerator and freezer once a week, in addition to writing your grocery list. This will help you keep your refrigerator clean and neat at all times, and you won’t have as much food waste as before.
Organize your fridge and freezer.
Before you begin storing everything inside your clean refrigerator and freezer, you should first organize a portion of the available space. If you find it useful, you can leave some notes on the shelves to help you quickly identify your products. Typically, the freezer is easier to organize. The top drawer is used for butter storage, while ice packs and yeast are stored in the freezer door. On one side of the lower shelf, meats and leftovers are stored, while frozen vegetables and fruits are stored on the other. Homeowners usually have a larger freezer in their garage, so this is a freezer for immediate needs.
