How to clean the refrigerator

Before putting toilet paper inside, it is important to clean the refrigerator thoroughly. Remove all moving parts, vegetable drawers, shelves, and racks so that you can clean the inside of the appliance without any obstacles.

The first place to clean is the rubber on the door as this is where most germs accumulate. Vinegar will be an ideal assistant. Soak a sponge or cloth in a mixture of vinegar and water and wipe the rubber well. Shelves can be washed with vinegar solution. To prepare it, mix water and vinegar in a 1:1 ratio (100 ml each). When everything is dry, put a roll of paper inside the refrigerator.

By the way, experts told us about the ideal temperature for the refrigerator. They recommend setting the temperature in the refrigerator at 4 °C (or lower), and in the freezer at -17 °C to -24 °C. The ideal temperature in the refrigerator can be lower: from 1.7° to 3.3°C. The main thing is not to exceed the 4°C threshold because that's when bacteria begin to multiply rapidly.
