Begin your deep clean by washing refrigerator components in soapy water with a wooden brush.

Your Immediate Next Step

Take two minutes right now to walk to your kitchen, open your refrigerator door, and pull back the rubber gasket on the inside edge. If you find trapped crumbs, black mildew spots, or sticky residue hiding inside the folds, select an upcoming morning to execute this deep-cleaning plan. Grab a cooler, prepare a simple solution of warm water and baking soda, and give your refrigerator the comprehensive reset it needs to keep your food fresh, safe, and economical.
