Easy steps to a cleaner Samsung refrigerator

Don't wait! Clean spills as soon as they happen. That puddle of coffee creamer will never be easier to clean than it is right now, and it's the best way to prevent odors from setting up shop in your fridge. Use a clean, microfiber cloth. If necessary, use a damp cloth with mild, non-abrasive detergent safe for refrigerators. Make sure you dry the area when you're done. Keeping up with small spills prevents larger cleaning tasks later.

If you notice unpleasant odors, take action immediately. Remove the source of the smell, usually expired food, and clean the affected area. For ongoing deodorization, place a bowl with baking soda in the fridge, changing it every month. For an extra boost, add ground coffee on a separate plate for 24 hours. A sliced orange left in the fridge can also leave a fresh scent.

Incorporate a daily check for expired items into your routine. These are major sources of unpleasant odors and can affect the freshness of other items in the fridge. Organize your fridge in a way that makes it easy to spot and remove expired goods. A clean fridge is a healthy fridge!

Just like unsealed ice cream loses its charm over time, ice can also degrade. Regularly emptying and refreshing the ice prevents it from clumping or developing a stale taste. This simple step, done every other week, ensures that the ice from your fridge remains fresh and clean.

Each month, take a moment to inspect your fridge for overlooked spills or crumbs. Regular checks allow you to maintain cleanliness without needing extensive cleaning sessions. Use a clean, microfiber cloth for wiping, and a damp cloth with mild detergent for any stubborn spots. Remember to dry everything thoroughly. For stainless steel exteriors, use a dedicated cleaner and wipe along the grain.

A slow water dispenser is a sign that your water filter needs changing. Proactively replace the filter every six months to ensure clean, fresh-tasting water. Reset the filter indicator after each replacement to keep track. Always use Samsung brand filters to avoid damage and ensure optimal performance.

Commit to a yearly deep clean. Remove and clean all shelves, drawers, and bins. Pay attention to the rubber seals and clean behind and underneath the fridge. Remember to dust off the back of the fridge and check the condenser coils for dust. Keeping these areas clean not only improves cleanliness but also the efficiency of your fridge.
