Organizing The Freezer Cleanouts

Posted on June 23, 2020 by Web publisher

Organizing The Freezer CleanoutsAlthough most people who are good at home cleaning are also quite capable of fridge cleanouts, it is easy to forget about the freezer. Although just the thought of freezer cleanout may bring a groan to many faces, it is not as difficult as it used to be. Due to the quantity of frost build-up, the freezer cleaning had developed a bad reputation. However, in modern refrigerators, you will not encounter this issue which means that you can finish cleaning the freezer within 30 minutes.

What you will need

Keep in mind that these instructions are for cleaning the freezer of your refrigerator. In case you have a deep freezer you will have to talk to the manufacturer or read instructions on the manual for cleaning. For cleaning the freezer you will need,

  • Ice
  • A large cooler
  • Distilled white vinegar
  • A spray bottle
  • An old toothbrush
  • Hot water
  • Microfiber cloths

Instructions

1. Take out all the food items from the freezer and put them in the cooler with ice. Remember to check the expiry dates of various food items in the process. Remove all the food items that are past the expiry date.
2. Unplug the refrigerator for safety. Do not worry about the food items as they will stay cold for 4 hours without power inside the refrigerator according to the FDA. However, ensure that people are not moving in and out of the fridge while you are working.
3. Combine equal portions of hot water and vinegar inside the spray bottle. This will be the cleaning solution for the freezer.
4. Spray the mixture generously in the freezer and wipe away the solution by using the dry microfiber cloth. You may repeat the step a few times for getting a clean freezer.
5. If there are stubborn patches you can use the toothbrush with hot water to scrub clean the area and wipe away the residue by using the microfiber cloth.
6. Dry the freezer inside by using the microfiber cloth ensuring that there is no liquid lying behind.
7. Wash out the drawers of the freezer, ice trays, and bins.
8. Plug back the freezer and also replace the food items you removed earlier. In case the ice from the cooler has begun to melt, wipe away the liquid from the food items and return them to the freezer.

One of the biggest annoyance several people feel when they open the freezer is not finding what they are looking for to eat. Due to this, it is a good idea to properly organize the food items inside the freezer while replacing them after cleaning by using a system that works out for you.

How to make house cleaning easy and effective

Posted on April 29, 2011 by owner

This is for you if you find that house cleaning is not very pleasant. Hopefully it will help you to make this process more fun.

The most important thing is to start the cleaning process. The best thing is to divide the cleaning project on sub phases and to work on each cleaning phase for a few hours otherwise you might be over exhausted after the cleaning is completed (if it’s completed) and will never clean it again.

Start with windows. Clean up frames, windows glass, wash curtains and clean up on windowsills. Organize closets. You might start enjoying that if are not trying to finish it in a record time. Plus while you are doing you may find a few things you probably thought were lost forever. My advice, while you sorting your clothes, perhaps it’s time to get rid of some of the old stuff otherwise it will take you another week to reorganize your very old things from one shelf to another. While you are cleaning closets you may also whip out the web in the ceiling corners.

Cleaning the bathrooms start with tile then move to cleaning sinks and toilets. Take a look at the medicine cabinets, there is always a few empty shampoo or conditioner bottles that need to be thrown away.

Make sure there is nothing you don’t need stays on the shelves of your walk-in closet (if you have one). Shoes should go into the shoe boxes. Umbrellas, gloves, note books – everything should find its place. If you find shoes or clothes you have not been wearing for a long time, get rid of it. Use the same policy for worn off slippers.

When everything is in order, it’s time for a vacuum cleaner. After cleaning the carpet don’t forget to vacuum soft furniture such as chairs and sofas. Don’t forget to move out the furniture from the wall and vacuum behind the furniture.

Wet cleaning needs to be done at the end. This is much quicker then everything that had to be done before.

After everything is done you should make sure you can find your car keys, a cell phone and a valet or a purse. Now you know how to clean up your house. and hopefully is not exhausted.
