Master professional techniques for deep cleaning refrigerators and freezers. Eliminate odors, remove stains, and maintain optimal food safety in your kitchen!
Start Deep CleaningYour refrigerator and freezer are the heart of food storage in your home, but they're also breeding grounds for bacteria, odors, and stains if not properly maintained. Regular deep cleaning isn't just about appearance - it's crucial for food safety, energy efficiency, and preventing cross-contamination between foods.
In South Florida's warm, humid climate, refrigerators work harder and can develop issues faster than in cooler regions. Our professional cleaning experience has shown that proper refrigerator maintenance can extend appliance life, reduce energy costs, and most importantly, keep your family's food safe from harmful bacteria and contamination.
Always have a cooler with ice ready before starting. Perishable foods should never be left at room temperature for more than 2 hours (1 hour if temperature is above 90°F). Plan your cleaning during cooler parts of the day.

Professional refrigerator cleaning requires specific products that are food-safe and effective:
Never use harsh chemicals, bleach, or abrasive cleaners inside your refrigerator. These can contaminate food and damage surfaces. Stick to food-safe, natural cleaning solutions that won't leave harmful residues.
Follow this comprehensive method for professional-quality refrigerator cleaning:
Prepare coolers with ice for perishable foods. Turn off the refrigerator if doing a complete deep clean, or work section by section to maintain temperature. Remove all food items, checking expiration dates as you go.
Sort items: Discard expired foods, group similar items together, and note what needs to be used soon.
Take out all shelves, drawers, door bins, and any removable components. This allows access to all surfaces and makes cleaning much more thorough.
Let glass shelves warm up: If they're cold, let them reach room temperature before washing to prevent cracking from temperature shock.
Wash shelves, drawers, and bins in warm soapy water. For stubborn stains, make a paste with baking soda and water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely before replacing.
Pay special attention to crisper drawers where vegetables may have left residue or moisture buildup.
Mix 2 tablespoons baking soda with 1 quart warm water. Wipe down all interior surfaces, including walls, ceiling, and floor of both refrigerator and freezer compartments.
For tough stains: Use a paste of baking soda and water, let sit for 15 minutes, then scrub gently with a soft brush.
For persistent odors, wipe surfaces with a solution of equal parts water and white vinegar. This naturally sanitizes and neutralizes odors without leaving harmful residues.
Pay special attention to the drip tray and any areas where spills may have occurred.
Clean the exterior with appropriate cleaner for your finish. Vacuum the condenser coils (usually on the back or bottom) to improve efficiency. Clean the door seals with mild soap and water.
Check door seals for cracks or damage that could affect energy efficiency.
