Simple, practical and efficient!
No more dirt or musty stains! All bacteria have been eliminated thanks to the effective action of white vinegar.
In addition, white vinegar has the power to deodorize: no more stale and rotten smells in the fridge!
It's still cleaner like that, right?
And it also works if you went on vacation with the fridge door open ...
Or if you turned off the fridge and left the door closed, or if you suffered a power failure while you were away.
Additional advice
- Remember to put on household gloves to protect your hands from mold.
- If your fridge is very very dirty, you can also remove all the removable parts of the fridge (shelves, vegetable drawer, compartments) and clean them in the sink, using this same technique.
Why does it work?
Thanks to its acidic pH, white vinegar cleans and disinfects surfaces.
The acetic acid contained in the vinegar helps eliminate mold and bacteria that have developed in the fridge.
The black soap combined with the action of the bicarbonate takes off and removes the last dirt.
Slightly abrasive, the bicarbonate unclogs residues stuck to the walls of the fridge or shelves.
In addition, black soap and baking soda have a degreasing power.
Not to mention that white vinegar and baking soda are two effective deodorants.
They don't just hide bad smells.
But they attack the molecules responsible for bad odors to eliminate them.
