Ice accumulating in a freezer is a natural process. However, over time a thick layer may start to block the door from closing. An open door can let in warmth, causing detrimental temperature fluctuations to both the stored food and the device itself. How can one avoid this issue?
An ingenious trick for removing excessive ice
You need to first empty the freezer, then spread a towel on the floor. Next, boil water in a pot and place it near the freezer. The rising steam will quickly melt a layer of ice, so you don't have to exhaust yourself by scraping. This method enables you to clean the freezer in just a few minutes.
Cleaning and disinfecting the chamber using vinegar and water
Once you've removed the ice, it's necessary to clean any possible food residue in the freezer, such as remnants from frozen vegetables. Prepare warm water mixed with dish soap and vinegar, then scrub throughout the entire chamber. Not only does Vinegar disinfect the freezer, removing all bacteria and microbes, but also it helps eradicate the unpleasant odor.
A simple solution to preventing the quick return of ice
Finally, it's advisable to apply a thin layer of oil to the freezer. This will prevent ice from regrowing. Also, avoid opening the freezer unless necessary and never place warm dishes inside. Warmth may increase ice formation and potentially cause permanent damage to the device. Regular cleaning and removal of old or unnecessary items may also prove to be helpful.
