Alternate Step 16. Carefully Remove Glass And Place in Dishwasher.
Carefully remove glass from shelve. Place in dishwasher with other dishes or by it self. Add detergent. Wait. Remove now clean glass. It is nice to save a little time and effort using a dishwasher. I find this method to be safer as I don't need to worry as much about glass breaking while cleaning.
Step 17. While Shelves Are Drying, Clean Inside of Refrigerator With Sponge or Rag, And a Bowl Full of Cleaner.
If some of the gunk is stuck on, it helps to soak it for a while. Use hot or warm water to help loosen stuck on debris. Use a cleaner with a disinfectant to help remove odors, bacteria, and viruses that may be harbored inside. Use a fingernail on difficult stuck on gunk. Your nail will not harm the fridge surface but is quite effective in lifting off gunk.
Step 18 Dry Inside of Refrigerator.
Use a clean dry cloth to dry out any remaining residue or cleaner. Paper towels are great but wasteful.
Step 19. Replace Shelves, Drawers, and Food.
Step 20. Drain Sink, Relax, Your Finished.
