Don't wait! Clean spills as soon as they happen. That puddle of coffee creamer will never be easier to clean than it is right now, and it's the best way to prevent odors from setting up shop in your fridge. Use a clean, microfiber cloth. If necessary, use a damp cloth with mild, non-abrasive detergent safe for refrigerators. Make sure you dry the area when you're done. Keeping up with small spills prevents larger cleaning tasks later.

If you notice unpleasant odors, take action immediately. Remove the source of the smell, usually expired food, and clean the affected area. For ongoing deodorization, place a bowl with baking soda in the fridge, changing it every month. For an extra boost, add ground coffee on a separate plate for 24 hours. A sliced orange left in the fridge can also leave a fresh scent.

Each month, take a moment to inspect your fridge for overlooked spills or crumbs. Regular checks allow you to maintain cleanliness without needing extensive cleaning sessions. Use a clean, microfiber cloth for wiping, and a damp cloth with mild detergent for any stubborn spots. Remember to dry everything thoroughly.

A slow water dispenser is a sign that your water filter needs changing. Proactively replace the filter every six months to ensure clean, fresh-tasting water.
