Before I worked my ✨ magic 🪄
This is a before look of a refrigerator that I did for a move in cleaning. This refrigerator had been sitting for a few months in storage. when working with a refrigerator that has been sitting I always grab some Dawn dish soap.
When dealing with a refrigerator that has been unused for an extended period, like several months in storage, it’s vital to use cleaning methods that effectively break down accumulated dirt and odors. Dawn dish soap is highly recommended because it cuts through grease and grime efficiently without leaving harsh residues. From my experience, before applying any cleaning agents, it’s important to unplug the refrigerator and remove all detachable parts such as shelves, drawers like the deli drawer, and the CleanFlow air filter if applicable. Soak these parts in warm water mixed with Dawn soap to loosen any stuck-on debris and bacteria. While scrubbing the interior surfaces, use a soft sponge to protect the fridge’s finish. Gently clean corners and seals where dirt tends to accumulate. The Dawn soap mixture not only cleans but also helps neutralize lingering odors. For persistent smells, leaving an open box of baking soda inside the fridge for a day or two after cleaning can help absorb remaining odors. Once the cleaning is complete, dry all surfaces thoroughly with a microfiber cloth before plugging the fridge back in to prevent moisture buildup that could lead to mold. Doing this job carefully also helps maintain the efficiency of components like the SmartSense system by preventing dust accumulation. Carrying out regular move-in cleanings like this will extend the life of your refrigerator and ensure your food stays fresh in a hygienic environment.
