Refrigerator and freezer cleaning maintains appliance cleanliness and food hygiene. Removal of expired or spoiled food precedes the cleaning of removable parts with warm, soapy water or a vinegar solution. Interior surfaces are cleaned with a mild detergent, paying attention to corners and crevices, before wiping dry.

Exterior surfaces are similarly cleaned, including handles and rubber gaskets, ensuring the longevity of appliances and the safety of stored food.
