How To Clean A Refrigerator

Everybody who eats has to clean a refrigerator at some time or another. No matter how careful we are about wrapping food and using plastic containers to store individual food items, little bits of stuff will escape or get spilled. These will turn mouldy if left and make the fridge and unhealthy place to store food. To prevent this happening, you will need to clean the fridge out on a regular basis or as part of your weekly house cleaning.

SECAUCUS, N.J. -- Freshpet® - the only brand of fresh, refrigerated pet food in the market today - introduced five new meals and treats for pets available exclusively in the Freshpet refrigerator. The new products include roasted meals - made of fresh chicken and vegetables for both dogs and cats – and the addition of all natural chews and bones to their treats line.Start from the top of the inside and work downwards. This way any drips or spills fall onto dirty areas rather than one you've already cleaned. Start with the main part of the inside and work to the bottom, rubbing over the surface with a soft cloth. You will need to rinse the cloth periodically, so have a bowl of warm water handy for this. If you come across any stubborn bits of grime, use a soft bristle brush to gently scrub it off - an old toothbrush is ideal. After you have finished the main compartment, repeat for the inside of the door. If you have a butter warming compartment, do this separately with a new cloth, hot water and detergent, as this area can get very greasy.“We’ve created our new meals with pet owners in mind – people who want their pets to live a healthy lifestyle just like they do,” continued Thompson. “Now, pets can gain the same nutritional benefits you and I get from eating fresh foods.”The new meals and treats include:Then you need to put the food back in again. Use common sense here - if something is obviously past its use-by date or has been sitting around for weeks and doesn't look likely to be touched, then throw it into the compost (or rubbish, if you must).Inspired by ancestral dog diets, Vital recipes are grain-free and contain 80% or more animal protein, providing an easily digestible and 100% complete and balanced meal. Each recipe is made from all natural ingredients and never contains corn, wheat, soy or by-products. The ingredients are gently cooked to retain their nutrients without the use of any artificial preservatives. That is why all Freshpet foods, including Vital and Dognation, must be refrigerated.

“We saw a need in the pet food market for fresh, wholesome foods,” said Richard Thompson, Freshpet’s chief executive officer. “When we think about healthy eating for ourselves, we look for fresh meats and colorful fruits and vegetables. Healthy, fresh foods for pets simply weren’t available until we developed Freshpet.”

Lastly, clean the outside of the fridge. Start from the top and work down. Most of the grime on the outside of the fridge is greasy (apart from the top, which gets dusty), so a grease-busting product works best here. However, plain soap and water, or baking soda works perfectly well. Baking soda is the better of the two, as it does not leave a streaky residue like soap does. If your fridge door is used as a message centre, this is a good moment to make sure that all messages are up-to-date and this area is not cluttered by old notes. Finish by drying the outside off thoroughly.
