Clean, Refresh and Organize Your Fridge Naturally

Clean, Refresh and Organize Your Fridge Naturally | April 11, 2024

Your refrigerator, the keeper of freshness in your kitchen, deserves special attention to keep it clean, fresh and safe for your food. Here’s how to do it using natural products to preserve the cleanliness of your device and the quality of your provisions.

Step 1: The Big Clean
Preparation :
Unplug your refrigerator for safety reasons.
Gather your supplies: white vinegar, baking soda, lemons or oranges (for their fresh scent), clean rags, a soft brush, and a bucket of warm water.
Inside the refrigerator:
The Big Empty : Start by removing all food and shelves. Say goodbye to expired or questionable products.
Gentle Cleaning : Prepare a solution of warm water and white vinegar (half and half) to gently clean the interior of the refrigerator. Don’t forget the nooks and crannies.
Forget Odors : Eliminate stubborn odors by placing a bowl of baking soda inside the refrigerator or placing citrus wedges for a natural scent.
Shelves and bins:
A Gentle Bath : Wash the shelves and bins in hot, soapy water and rinse them thoroughly. If there are stubborn stains, a soft-bristled brush can be a big help.
Drying Time : Let them air dry before putting them back in the refrigerator.
Step 2: Refresh Naturally
Ideal Temperatures:
Refrigerator : Keep it between 1 and 4 degrees Celsius (34 to 40 degrees Fahrenheit) to ensure optimal preservation of your food.
Freezer : Keep it at around -18 degrees Celsius (0 degrees Fahrenheit) to keep your frozen groceries safe.
