Brilio.net - The refrigerator plays an important role in keeping food and drinks fresh. However, over time, some parts of the refrigerator, such as the door rubber, can experience a decrease in quality. The refrigerator door rubber functions to maintain the optimal temperature inside the refrigerator. The problem that often arises is that the rubber becomes stiff and dirty, so it cannot close tightly and retain cold temperatures properly.
To overcome this problem, there is a practical solution shared by the YouTube account BAHAN Info, quoted by BrilioFood on Monday (9/12). This tutorial only requires one simple kitchen ingredient, making it a more affordable alternative to other methods such as using an iron or hair dryer.
The first step, make sure the refrigerator is not connected to electricity. If the door rubber can be removed, remove it first. Then, prepare boiling water in a pan. Dip the door rubber into the boiling water for a moment. According to BAHAN Info, stiff rubber will become flexible again after being soaked in hot water, so it can stick well to the refrigerator door.
Once the rubber has become pliable, remove it from the boiling water and clean the rubber and the refrigerator door before reinstalling it. This way, the rubber will stick tightly when the refrigerator door is closed.
If the rubber cannot be removed, simply wipe it with a cloth soaked in hot water. This will make the rubber elastic again. This method is easy to practice and effective in overcoming the problem of loose refrigerator door rubber.
