Life Hack: How to deep clean your fridge with baking soda, vinegar and more

Before you fill your fridge up with Christmas meats and treats, take a moment before that big shop to give the appliance a thorough clean.

How often do you clean your fridge?

Baking soda to remove stains and smells 

Kitchen queen Martha Stewart suggests cleaning down your fridge’s interior seasonally using baking soda (sodium bicarbonate). She suggests this over regular soap as often soap is scented and that smell can be absorbed by some foods. Plus, baking soda has the extra benefit of absorbing smells and eliminating odours. Using a mix of two tablespoons of baking soda and a cup of hot water, wipe down the inside of the fridge. Rinse the mixture off with a damp cloth and dry it with a clean towel.
