Life Hack: How to defrost your freezer quickly and with no mess

If you notice ice building up inside your freezer, it's probably time to defrost and clean it.

Why is my freezer frosting?

If you notice a layer of ice growing on the inside surface of your freezer, there can be a few causes. Every time you open the door to your freezer, you allow warm air and moisture to enter the appliance. This converts to frost inside your appliance and it can build up over time, often covering air vents and temperature sensors. As a result, your freezer starts to work harder, which leads to more ice building up.
