Question: How to clean our refrigerator

When we use the refrigerator, we should clean it every few months, special in summer, we should clean it every month.

There are some benefits:

Note：Unplug the refrigerator from the power supply before cleaning.

Take out of the food stored in the refrigerator and put it in a cool place. Open the freezer compartment door to allow

the freezer to defrost. If the ice is thick, you can put a tray full of hot  water in the freezer compartment.

Prepare a cleaning solution mixed with warm water. Use a sponge or soft cloth, dampened

         2) If there has bad smell in refrigerator compartment, please spray 1 or 2 times with

             white vinegar or dilute lemon juice or a non toxic cleaner.

         3) Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasives, ammonia, chlorine bleach,concentrated

             detergents,solvents or metal scouring pads. Some of these chemicals may dissolve,

             damage and /or discolor the refrigerator.

             cleaning stick or a plastic drinking straw.
