Cleaning Your Refrigerator To A Hygienic Standard
2

• Your refrigerator is used so frequently that its
  not always easy to keep it clean, however,
  considering food items are stored there, its
  important that you make the effort to keep it as
  hygienically clean as possible. One way of
  ensuring that the entire fridge gets a thorough
  clean is by gradually emptying the food stored in
  it, so that cleaning it properly is made easier.
• Read on for more top tips for getting your
  refrigerator to a hygienically clean standard

• Clean Every part of the fridge
• Even if you give your fridge a quick clean once a
  week, there can be no substitute for cleaning
  every drawer, compartment and tray not
  forgetting the door every month without fail.
  Bacteria can lurk in every corner and is not
  always visible to the naked eye.
• Use dish soap and paper towels for standard
  cleaning
• For a refrigerator that isnt in too bad a state,
  simply use hot water, paper towels and dish soap
  to clean it from top to bottom.

4

• Use a diluted bleach solution for tougher to
  clean stains
• While you dont want any of the food items inside
  your fridge to take on the unpleasant smell of
  bleach, there can be no denying its power at
  keeping bacteria at bay, so in some instances
  its advisable to use it provided its diluted.
  Pour one teaspoon of bleach (if you can buy
  unscented bleach, so much the better) into a
  quart of water and use it to wipe down your
  fridge from top to bottom. To ensure nothing
  becomes tainted, make sure that the fridge is
  thoroughly dry before you put any food items back
  in.

• Dont forget the handle
• Handles always have the potential to get super
  grubby, and many microbes and nasty bacteria
  could be lurking on their surfaces. So, always
  wipe the fridge door handle thoroughly after
  youve finished cleaning the rest of the fridge.
  Its a good idea to keep some disposable sanitary
  wipes handy near your fridge so that you can wipe
  the handle down once a day or after particularly
  sticky fingers have been using it!
• Store food items correctly in your fridge
• Foods that can support bacterial growth such as
  eggs, should always be kept in the coldest parts
  of your fridge, towards the back.

6

• Those items that are less sensitive, such as
  condiments, can be placed in the door where there
  is more temperature fluctuation.
• Avoid over-filling
• Ramming your fridge chock full of items will only
  serve to prevent the cold air from circulating,
  and make it not perform as well as it should.
• The last thing you want is for the food in your
  fridge to make you or other members of your
  household sick, so keep it as clean as you can,
  and if you cant be bothered to do it yourself or
  dont have the time, simply call in the cleaning
  professionals to clean it for you.
