🏠 Week 33 Home Check Reminder

Published 20 days ago • 1 min read

Welcome to Week 33 of the Weekly Home Check

Got any expired food hiding in the fridge? This is the week to tackle it! Let’s clean out the inside, toss anything past its prime, and vacuum the refrigerator and freezer coils.

But first, check out this week's sponsor, which helps keep these reminders free.

🧽 Deep Clean Your Refrigerator

Empty Shelves: Unplug and take out all the items from your refrigerator, one shelf at a time.
Check Expiry Dates: As you remove items from the fridge, check their expiration dates. Discard anything that's no longer good.
Wipe Down: Use a mixture of warm water and dish soap to wipe down shelves, drawers, and compartments. Don't forget to clean the door seals! Find all my fridge cleaning essentials linked here.
Organize: Categorize your items, placing those that will expire soon at the front for easy access.

🧊 Vacuum Refrigerator/Freezer Coils

Over time, dust and debris can accumulate on the refrigerator coils, especially if you have pets. Dirty coils will impact performance and increase your energy bill, so be sure to clean them every 6 months.

Unplug the Appliance: For safety, unplug your refrigerator or freezer.
Locate the Coils: Find the coils—usually located at the back of the appliance—behind a grill or panel, then unscrew the panel.
Vacuum: Use a brush attachment on your vacuum cleaner to gently remove dust and debris from the coils. Always refer to the owner's manual for any specific instructions

Tip: Search for your owner's manual on Google and link it in your Home Journal & Log Book for easy access.
