A refrigerator ensures the safety and freshness of the food kept inside. If your fridge itself is not clean, it would affect the quality of your food. Also, the look of a dirty and unhygienic fridge spoils the overall aesthetics of your house. Always make sure that you tend to your refrigerator on a regular basis and carry out a thorough cleaning session to maintain the device.
When it comes to cleaning your fridge, WD-40 is not the first option that comes to one’s mind. People often associate WD-40 with the maintenance of their vehicles, cleaning rust off metals, and other similar household chores. However, a few sprays of WD-40 Multi Use Product can provide you with a crystal clean and hygienic fridge within a few minutes. Whether you want to clean the interiors of your device, the exteriors, or clean the fridge inside out, WD-40 works its magic just fine!
Cleaning your refrigerator can get really tedious, especially if you leave the device unattended for a long time. Using a can of WD-40 for cleaning helps you save time and get rid of nasty stains that are otherwise difficult to deal with.
Here are some simple steps you can follow to clean your fridge inside out with the help of WD-40 Multi Use Product:
Before starting the cleaning process, never forget to unplug the refrigerator. It is always safe to clean the device when it is plugged out and free from a running current. If you want to clean the entire fridge, empty all its contents. This makes it easier for you to spot the affected areas and tend to them in a hassle-free way. Also, having food within your refrigerator while you spray a liquid like WD-40 may result in unwanted contamination, leading to serious health issues.
It is advisable to have to keep a can of WD-40 Multi Use Product handy at your home to facilitate clean and convenient cleaning. You can get the product from a hardware store near you or order it online.
It is always better to start cleaning the interiors first. Once your device is empty and you have a can of WD-40 with you, spray the liquid inside the fridge, especially on the affected areas. Spot unwanted stains, dirt, and a range of other contaminants. To improve your cleaning process, you can also soak a soft washcloth in a solution of baking soda and warm water and wipe the interiors with the same.
This would help you get rid of the unwanted odour and make the overall process more effective. Once you have sprayed some WD-40, wait for a bit and clean the device thoroughly. You will see that the stains come off easily, making the interiors look neat and clean.
Once you are done cleaning the interiors of your fridge, wipe them using a dry towel. This would help you wipe off all the excess WD-40 liquid and other residues inside the fridge. Always make sure that you re-stock the device only when it is completely dry from the inside.
After you are done cleaning the interiors, you can slowly move on to cleaning the exterior of your refrigerator. If specific portions of the device have been exposed to moisture for too long, they are likely to get rusty over time. Spray a little WD-40 on the surface, wait for a couple of minutes, and clean all the areas that need some serious cleaning.
Getting rid of notorious stains on the surface of your fridge would change the entire look and feel of your device. Once you have wiped off all the stains, clean the exterior with a dry towel to give it the perfect finishing touch!
