Wpro C00380121 Refrigerator and Freezer Cleaner, 500 ml

Product Information

You need to completely empty the water tank to ensure that the boiler is depressurised before you open the lid to refill it – or you could be faced with a face full of steam (ouch). You must also make sure that you take safety into consideration when using an electrical appliance near water. Although there are plenty of affordable options out there, frost-free freezers tend to be more expensive than an appliance that you'll need to defrost manually.

So, if you want to save yourself the hassle of defrosting your freezer by hand, then you may need to spend a bit more upfront. To be on the safe side, turn the cleaner to its lowest setting the first time you use it on a new type of flooring, and always mop up any excess water after use. Cylinder and handheld steam cleaners often have boilers that rely on pressure as well as heat to produce steam. Or you can book the service as an optional extra on any deep, end of tenancy or after builders clean. Don’t try and force them out if they're stuck - you'll be able to remove them later as the ice melts.Without regular cleaning, a fridge/freezer can become a breeding ground for harmful germs and unpleasant odours. However, not defrosting your freezer is costing you more in energy; the more ice in your freezer, the more energy it uses. When you decide it's time for a deep clean, try and time it for when you have as little food in the fridge as possible.

Clean the shelf ledges, the walls, and the condensation trough - that's the narrow gulley on the back wall that runs down towards the drip pipe. Not only will your fridge be looking cleaner than ever, it'll also be smelling better by neutralising all those unwanted odours. Steam mops with swivel and double-hinged heads move around well and make it easier to clean around obstacles and furniture.Never pour hot water into an ice-covered freezer compartment, as this could cause damage to the unit and the risk of scolding is high. If you're in a hurry to defrost your freezer, your steamer is a quicker – and safer – option than attacking the ice with kitchen implements. To speed up the process even more, you can place a bowl of boiling water inside the freezer while it is defrosting and replace it as it cools. You can also take your cleaner outdoors to spruce up your barbecue (you may have to team it up with a wire brush for burnt-on food). After the allotted time is up, wipe up your spray and any messes left behind with a microfiber cloth.
