Brilio.net - The process of defrosting in the freezer is often a troublesome task because it takes a long time. Frost that accumulates in the freezer not only reduces storage space but can also reduce cooling efficiency. When frost accumulates too much, the freezer has to work harder to maintain cold temperatures, which can ultimately increase energy consumption and electricity costs.
Dealing with frost buildup usually requires manual defrosting, where the freezer must be turned off and opened to allow the ice to melt naturally. This process can take hours, even overnight, depending on the thickness of the ice that has formed. While waiting for the ice to melt, food stored in the freezer must be moved to a safe place so that it does not spoil. This certainly adds to the complexity of the process.
Fortunately, there are a few ways to speed up the defrosting process, such as using a fan to help defrost faster . However, it is important to be careful not to damage the components in the freezer. The wind from the fan is thought to cause the frost to melt faster.
But do you know? There is another way that is no less fast than using a fan. This method was once shared by YouTube user Wans69 YouTube in one of the videos uploaded. He claimed to only use water to melt the ice in an instant without waiting overnight.

As reported by BrilioFood from YouTube Wans69 YouTube on Monday (9/12), the water used is regular water at room temperature. So, not hot water, yes. Because even though it is faster, hot water has the potential to damage the refrigerator or freezer components. Therefore, he only uses regular water that is put into a bottle. Make sure the bottle cap has a hole so that the water inside is easier to spray.

Well, the first thing to do is turn off the refrigerator first so that it is safer to clean. After that, remove all the contents of the refrigerator inside. Then spray the flowers in the freezer using water from the bottle. Spray from the center of the ice flower first so that it comes off the freezer wall faster. Do this process until the center of the ice flower completely melts and begins to have holes.

Next, spray the back and front of the frost. More precisely, spray the frost that is stuck directly to the roof or wall of the freezer. This will make the side of the frost that is stuck, so it melts and is easier to remove later. If it has come off, immediately take and throw away the frost.

In the video, YouTube user Wans69 YouTube continues to pour frost with water from the bottle. Who would have thought, in less than 30 minutes, the frost in the freezer is clean from frost. Well, the freezer that is clean can be wiped immediately with a dry cloth so that no frost appears again when the refrigerator is turned on later.
The video about this ice melting trick has been watched almost 8,000 times on YouTube. It is no wonder that many other YouTube users gave direct responses in the comments column. Most of these netizens admitted that the trick is very useful to imitate.
" Wow, now I can quickly clean the frost in the refrigerator ," said YouTube @titisuryati2095.
" Thank you, bro, for the very useful information ," said YouTube @onezira8425.
" Is the refrigerator on or off???" asked the YouTube account @JokoRiyan-ub2bv, which was then answered by the video uploader , "Off, Sis! That's safer."
