A remedy that was popular in Soviet times will help.

Once your refrigerator is free of ice, it's time to clean the inside.

Housewives are faced with the task of not only removing stains, but also “settling” a pleasant aroma in the refrigerator.

Unpleasant odor and bacteria will be defeated with the help of tooth powder. It washes away any kind of dirt and does not scratch the surface, and as a bonus it gives a fresh aroma.

The cleaning agent is prepared from the powder and a small amount of water. It should form a mushy mixture, which is applied to the surface of the shelves and containers, as well as the walls.

Then all that remains is to rinse off the cleaning mixture and wipe the refrigerator dry.

Instead of powder, you can use toothpaste. Or, the old-fashioned way, wash the surface with vinegar, which will give cleanliness without a pleasant aroma.

Or, as experienced cleaners advise, use special cleaning products for the refrigerator. They clean surfaces, kill bacteria, and leave a pleasant smell.
