Prepare the Solution: In your spray bottle, combine the white vinegar, water, and lemon essential oil. This blend harnesses the cleaning power of vinegar with the grease-cutting ability of lemon, all while neutralizing odors.
Shake to Combine: Secure the lid on your spray bottle and give it a good shake to ensure the ingredients are well mixed. Your natural fridge cleaner is now ready to battle the grime!
The Cleaning Process
Pre-Clean Prep
Empty the Fridge: For a thorough clean, it’s best to start with an empty canvas. Remove all food items, shelves, and drawers. This is also a great opportunity to declutter and organize.
Spraying and Wiping
Apply the Cleaner: Generously spray the interior surfaces of your fridge, including the walls, base, and ceiling. Don’t forget the door seals, where crumbs and mold can hide.
Wipe Down: Using your soft cloth or sponge, wipe the surfaces clean. For any stubborn spots or spills, let the cleaner sit for a few minutes before wiping or use the scrub brush gently.
Shelves and Drawers
Clean Separately: Wash the removable shelves and drawers with the same natural cleaner or in warm soapy water. Rinse and dry them before returning them to the fridge.
