It can cause your fridge to smell like old cheese or worse, sour milk, and it is just plain gross! So what can we do? How do you clean your refrigerator without buying expensive chemicals? It is easier than you think. Here's a quick tip to get rid of the fridge stench.

You should throw away all expired food. Make a bleach solution and clean all refrigerator drawers and shelves. Once you are done, rinse it off.

-Clean and disinfect with bicarbonate sodium: Sprinkle generous amounts of baking powder on all shelves. For an extra kick, you can add some vanilla extract to make it smell like dessert. Let the mixture sit overnight, then wipe off excess with paper towels and rags.

Clean up any spills as soon as possible, especially around rubber doors gaskets, which require regular lubrication from the wear and tear of opening and closing them often.

Clean and disinfect the insides of your refrigerator.

Here are the simple steps to cleaning your refrigerator. We can't stress enough how much easier future fridge cleaning tasks will be if you fix this problem now!

Nobody enjoys it when someone does a dirty job because somebody else didn't follow safety precautions. This would be frustrating to everyone, so remember Unplug Prior to Cleaning!

First of all, unplug your refrigerator. Too many people don't realize that they must unplug their refrigerator before they begin cleaning all the dirty shelves and drawers. If you use bleach or other harsh chemicals, this is particularly important. Once the job is complete, ensure everyone knows that no one should touch it.

The second step is to take all of your items out of your fridge and place them in a safe area outside the refrigerator. If there is still time, keep any food sealed.

Next, you will need to take out each shelf and drawer from the appliance one at a time. When removing pieces, make sure to keep your trusted cloth nearby. This will prevent any scratches or damage from occurring later. You might spray these pieces down after you've removed them.

After you have removed everything, wipe it down and then place it back in its original location. This will ensure that there are no spillages or smudges left on the shelves and drawers. It is much better to take care of minor issues from the beginning than fix them later when they have become more serious. Here are the next steps in cleaning out your fridge.

• Use baking soda and vinegar with hot water to clean the interior of your refrigerator. This will help remove stubborn stains that have been there for years. Combine about 1/2 cup of each ingredient in a spray can with warm water. Spray the mixture on food contact areas. This will cause a chemical reaction to break up the nasty smells and make your fridge smell fresh.
• Lemon peels can also be used to remove odors from fridges. Lemon peels have been known for their anti-bacterial properties and can be used to clean your fridge. Just cut a few lemon slices in half and place them inside the refrigerator. You'll get that fresh lemony scent while also clearing out any unpleasant odors.
• This works well if you prefer something natural to replace harmful chemicals such as baking soda & vinegar mixed. You will need to mix some dish soap into water. Once bubbles form around 1/2 cup, you can use this mixture in a spray gun to spray food on the affected areas. This will cause a chemical reaction to break up the bad smells leaving your fridge smelling fresh.

If you have been neglectful about keeping this task on track, we suggest booking an appointment or booking a time with a professional cleaner. These professionals deal with this type of thing every day and have access the products that aren’t normally available by others.
