Nobody likes to clean the fridge. The ideal would be to set one day a week for homework, because if we don’t get used to it, it will surely pass. What is unforgivable is seeing food remains, sticky drips or spills build up on shelves and away without cleaning immediately; If you also find it tedious, use the plastic film with this little trick.
Dirt inside the refrigerator will only make it smell bad, it will spoil sooner and the food we store can spoil too soon. In addition, there are foods that absorb these bad odors, not to mention the hygienic and health risks that it entails. Clean and neatthere are no more secrets to have an efficient and safe refrigerator.
But empty it and remove every two by three the shelves, accessories and drawers to scrub, disinfect and dry them by hand can be tedious, especially if we have bustle at home or we are somewhat careless. It’s not uncommon for someone not to close a gravy or jam jar properly, for a yogurt container to break, for a vegetable or fruit to leak juices, or for the damned milk or juice opener to break and be leaking.
If it is your case and you despair having to empty and clean often -which is annoying to discover the dirt when you have just enough time to make dinner-, you can try this trick that has sparked some debate on social networks.
Plastic film and dirt goes away in a tris
the trick is fine simple: cover the most problematic shelves or shelves with plastic film. Simple as that.
The idea is to completely cover the surface of the fridge what else is usually stained or what is more difficult for us to clean, such as the lower or higher shelf that we have difficult access to – short people exist and cook -, where we put sticky or dairy sauces, the most used, etc.
Thus, every time it is slightly stained with something, or every X days, we only have to remove dirty plastic carefully throw it away and replace it. And the shelf will stay clean and safe from unwanted stains and drips.
The trick has been shared by a Facebook user who discovered a large number of accumulated dirt, probably always hidden behind the products, and for not having a good cleaning routine. This has provoked more than one criticism, also because it is not the most sustainable thing in the world, but it must be admitted that the trick of the film is not so far-fetched for the most rebellious areas.
We do recommend using a good quality one, better if it is for professional use, and lining the shelves or shelves after cleaning and drying them thoroughly. One has to adjust the plastic tight so that it does not create wrinkles or break, like a second skin, even with two layers. And check it often.
