Best Cleaning Tips for a Double-Door Fridge

In today’s busy lifestyle, most of us block our weekends for cleaning work. And when it comes to cleaning a refrigerator, it is a real task. Especially for working professionals and bachelors putting up in apartments, it becomes a daunting task to clean up the week-long messy fridge. Although there are a number of variants available in the market, a double-door refrigerator is a common sight in almost every household. Due to the availability of so many compartments in a fridge, it becomes quite confusing on what to clean first and how.

Here are a few tips that will help you clean your double-door refrigerator quickly and easily:

1. Empty the fridge and clean the contents

Empty the fridge and divide the sections into two areas: one for the things that need to be discarded, for e.g. expired food items, and the other area for items that need to be put back after cleaning. Make sure that everything you put inside your double-door fridge is clean so that you don’t add up to the mess. For this, take a damp cloth and wipe the bottoms and lids of the items or the containers you wish to put back.

2. Use diluted vinegar to clean the compartments

Remove the shelves and drawers, spray the vinegar and water solution on the inside area and let it soak for some time. Vinegar not only helps in cleaning but also acts as a disinfectant. It removes any foul smell too. Meanwhile, wash the removed shelves and drawers with warm soapy water and set them aside to dry. Now wipe the entire fridge with a soft, clean cloth.

3. Use baking soda for removing spill stains

To remove any stubborn stains, take a small amount of baking soda, mix some water to it and form a thick paste. Now apply this paste to that area. Leave for an hour and then wipe it off with a damp sponge or cloth. The baking soda will moisten the area, making it easier to clean.

4. Designate shelves and label everything

This is one of the best ways to organize things in your refrigerator and keep it clean. Just designate a specific space to a certain type of food. This will not only make your fridge look neater but will also eliminate the search time for any food item. You can also use an erasable marker to label the shelves for easy identification.

5. Keep coffee beans at the back of your fridge

If you open your double door refrigerator after a long time, the worst part is the foul smell. A home-made aromatic air freshener is the best option to go for. Coffee beans will help you remove even the strongest of the odour and will also absorb moisture, thereby keeping your refrigerator clean and fresh until the next cleaning session. 

Although cleaning a double-door fridge seems quite a task, but it should not be avoided.  We’re sure these tips will help you get the cleaning task done in no time! Regular cleaning and care helps in keeping the refrigerator clean, reduces the hassle of tiresome cleaning, and also contributes to longer operational life. It’s easy to clean the newer models of the refrigerator as they come with larger compartments designated to different food items, for instance, the Panasonic Refrigerator. So no more cancelling outing plans, get done with the cleaning task super-fast with these easy-breezy tips and enjoy your free time.
