Cleaning the fridge and freezer

Fresh tips for the fridge and freezer

Cleaning your fridge and freezer regularly is not a luxury. Try to clean the fridge at least once every three months. Since many people don’t know how to clean it, we’ve made the following roadmap.
 

Fridge

  • Turn it off and pull the plug out of the socket.
  • Empty the fridge by getting all products out. Throw the products that are expired in the bin.
  • Get all trays, drawers and other loose parts out. Clean them in the sink with Feem Active Cleaner and a dish cloth. Rinse well with water!
  • Clean the inside of your fridge with a bucket of lukewarm water and a little bit of Feem Active Cleaner. Don’t forget to clean the door and sealing rubbers.
  • Dry everything with a clean cloth and turn the fridge back on. Set the temperature between 3°C and 7°C.
  • Fill the fridge again with the products, but:
    • Make sure to put fruit and vegetables in the vegetable drawer, which is especially made to keep them fresh longer.
    • Store raw and prepared food far away from each other to avoid salmonella contamination.

Tip: To keep the energy consumption of your fridge to a minimum, you should vacuum or dust the back of your fridge at least once a year.
 

Freezer
For your freezer or freezer compartment in your fridge to function optimally, it’s best to thaw it once every six months. You can do this the same way as with the fridge.

  • Turn off the freezer and empty it completely.
  • Clean the inside with Feem Active Cleaner.
  • Turn it back on.
  • Only put the products inside the freezer when it’s back to its temperature.

Tip: The perfect time to clean your freezer is when it freezes outside. It allows you to put all products outside for a moment until it’s cleaned.
