Before cleaning, all food items must be removed from the fridge, and magnets or personal items taken off. The fridge is then cleaned thoroughly inside and out, including shelves, drawers, and door seals. The freezer is also cleaned, though it is recommended that it be defrosted beforehand for the best results. Note that ice buildup is not removed during the cleaning process.

The time required for cleaning depends on the level of dirt and buildup in the appliances, but on average, it takes between 2 and 4 hours to clean both the oven and fridge.

Not all fridges require the same cleaning frequency. Several factors directly influence when a fridge’s interior cleaning should be scheduled. Ignoring these variables can accelerate the appliance’s deterioration or even pose a health risk to your household. The following details the main factors that determine how often a professional cleaning should be performed: Type of use and quantity of food stored – A family fridge that’s used frequently accumulates residue faster than one that’s used only occasionally. The more food is moved around, the greater the need for deep cleaning. Presence of children, pets or vulnerable people – In homes with babies, the elderly, or immunocompromised individuals, exposure to bacteria or mould can have more serious consequences. In these cases, professional cleaning is recommended at least every three months. Fridge type and design – Frost-free models accumulate less frost, but they are not immune to internal dirt buildup. Built-in or industrial models, on the other hand, require regular inspection due to their structural complexity and intensive use. Climatic conditions and location – In warm or humid climates, bacteria and odours can proliferate more rapidly. Fridges and freezers located near windows or heat sources also tend to experience temperature instability, increasing the need for maintenance. History of incidents or spills – If there have been liquid spills, power outages, or spoiled food, it is crucial to perform an immediate cleaning without waiting for the usual cycle. The ideal frequency is not universal. Understanding these factors and paying attention to signs such as unpleasant odours, visible frost, or unusual noises helps maintain the fridge’s efficiency and protect its contents.
