Clean the Drain Area<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many parts of the refrigerator that must be cleaned.One of them is the drain of your refrigerator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The drain of your fridge is usually placed at the back of your refrigerator. You should check for its condition regularly, and when it\u2019s dirty you should immediately clean it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We recommend using a cotton bud or straw to clean it. Rub the drainage channel from the dirt that sticks until it is pushed out.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Clean_The_Condenser_Coil_and_Fan\"><\/span>2. Clean The Condenser Coil and Fan<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At the back of the refrigerator there is not only a drainage or drain channel. At the back of your refrigerator, you can also find a condenser and fan.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These two important parts also need to be kept clean to ensure the overall performance of your fridge as these two parts play an important role in filtering dirt and dust from the air.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When cleaning these two parts you should turn off the refrigerator.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Use a vacuum cleaner or brush to clean the fan and condenser from dirt. You should clean it carefully, so that it doesn&#8217;t get damaged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Removes_the_Shelves\"><\/span>3. Removes the Shelves<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When you want to clean the interior of the refrigerator, you should remove all the shelves. You can start by cleaning the shelves.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The shelves serve as a holder to hold your food or drink, so there\u2019s a high chance that it can be dirty easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can use clean water and laundry soap to clean the remnants of spilled food, drinks, oil and so on.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We recommend using a sponge to clean the refrigerator shelf. Do not use the washing wire that is usually used to clean stubborn stains.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This wire can leave friction marks that will make your refrigerator shelf look bad.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After washing, it&#8217;s best to dry all the shelves before you put them back in the fridge. Make sure the shelf is completely dry when you put it back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><em>Also Read: &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dimulti.id\/SNI\/why-your-refrigerator-is-not-cooling\/\">Why Your Refrigerator is Not Cooling?<\/a>&#8220;<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Wipe_the_Interior_and_Exterior_of_Your_Fridge\"><\/span>4.

Well, to clean it, you can use a soft cloth to clean all the outer sides of your refrigerator.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The back is usually the dirtiest place because it holds a lot of dirt and dust. Don&#8217;t forget to unplug the power outlet before cleaning, to prevent any accidents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now to clean the interior of the refrigerator, you can use a liquid cleaner and spray it throughout the interior of your fridge.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After that, take a clean cloth and wipe all parts slowly until all stains are successfully removed. When the interior condition is clean, then you can install the shelves again.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Clean_the_Freezer\"><\/span>5. Clean the Freezer<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The freezer should not be left out of this cleaning process either. You can remove the insulation and wash it using a mild soap. Make sure the ice that covers the vents is completely gone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Clean_it_Regularly\"><\/span>6.
