• Wipe down the inside of the fridge
• Use dish soap to wash all the drawers and the areas beneath them
• Toss all expired and mouldy food

• Pull out your fridge from the wall and vacuum beneath the fridge and the condenser coils in the back
• Wipe down any sticky bottles or jars before returning them to fridge
