Brilio.net - A refrigerator is a storage place used to preserve various foods for a long time. Using a refrigerator with excessive capacity can make the storage space crowded. This condition can cause an unpleasant odor in the refrigerator.
Uncontrolled use of the refrigerator, resulting in parts of the refrigerator becoming dirty and unkempt. Another impact is the appearance of mold in the form of black spots on the rubber of the refrigerator door. The growth of mold that is not immediately handled can spread quickly throughout the refrigerator.
The problem of a refrigerator filled with excess food stock was also experienced by a YouTube user named Hellen Cooking. The uploaded video shows the condition of her two-door refrigerator filled with various types of food. This situation illustrates a common habit that often occurs in the use of household refrigerators.
"This is because they are mixed together and not given a box, so they can spill and make the refrigerator dirty," he said, quoted by BrilioFood from YouTube Hellen Cooking on Wednesday (11/13).

Once done, remove the shelves attached to the inside and door of the refrigerator one by one. It's easy, just pull the shelves slowly using both hands. After that, he immediately wiped the entire inside of the refrigerator using a sponge that had been moistened with dish soap solution.
