How to Clean a Refrigerator Inside and Out

Your refrigerator touches everything you eat, so keeping it clean matters for freshness and food safety. Here's how.

Step by step

1. Toss expired items
2. Remove shelves and drawers and wash them
3. Wipe the interior with a mild cleaner or baking-soda solution
4. Clean door seals and handles
5. Wipe the exterior (with the grain on stainless)

Don't forget

• The top of the fridge
• The coils behind or beneath it (helps efficiency)
• A box of baking soda to absorb odors

Keep it fresh

Wipe spills right away and do a quick shelf wipe weekly. A clean fridge is one of the most satisfying parts of a kitchen deep clean.
