Many housewives spend the whole day trying to thoroughly clean the refrigerator.

They probably just don't know the method that will allow you to finish cleaning your refrigerator in just 30 minutes.

To begin with, of course, it is worth disconnecting the device from the power supply and freeing its shelves.

It is worth removing not only the products stored here, but also the shelves, grates, and other elements.

They are easiest to wash in a sink filled with soapy water. Important: Wait until all items reach room temperature before washing.

Please note – it is best to use an unscented detergent so that the plastic elements do not absorb foreign odors and do not transfer them to the products.

Now it's time to prepare a cleaning agent for the refrigerator itself.

To do this, you will need to mix hot water and vinegar in equal parts. Alternatively, use 2 liters of hot water and 2 teaspoons of baking soda.

Regardless of which cleaning product recipe you decide to go with, pour it into a spray bottle and thoroughly spray the “insides” of the refrigerator.

All that's left is to wipe the walls, bottom and ceiling of the refrigerator with a rag. Don't forget about the doors and the seal.

All that remains is to wipe everything dry using a dry cloth or paper towels and return the contents of the cooling unit to its place.
