Save Energy By Cleaning Your Refrigerators And Freezers
The refrigerator is an essential appliance in the house or in your business establishment.Here’s how to clean the refrigerator or freezer more efficiently.
The condenser coil, which helps disperse heat, it tends to collect dust because it is outside the cabinet.Dust lowers the efficiency of the appliance in addition to that, it also raises the electricity cost.The condenser should be cleaned annually or twice a year, particularly before the onset of the summer season.The reason is that because high weather temperatures impose heavy demands on a refrigerating system.
It is easy to clean a back-mounted condenser once you pull out the refrigerator.But there are many models with the coil mounted in a compartment underneath the cabinet.
Some older models of refrigerators have a removable drip pan that can develop odors that come from food spills dripping into it from inside the refrigerator.If possible, check it from time to time, then wash and rinse the pan using a dishwashing detergent and water.
When cleaning the inside of the refrigerator, use the mildest cleaning detergent possible or just a damp sponge.Avoid scratching the soft plastic surfaces.If water alone does not work, use a solution of baking soda and water.It is particularly important to keep the gasket or door seal clean.Dirt buildup impairs the gasket’s ability to keep cold air in.
