Brilio.net - It cannot be denied that currently the refrigerator is a very important electronic device. This refrigerator functions as a container for storing food and drink stock so that it stays fresh and lasts a long time. Considering its crucial function, some people even have more than one refrigerator.
However, over time, the refrigerator can become damaged. One of them is that the refrigerator door rubber cannot be closed tightly. If the refrigerator door is loose, air from outside can enter even though it is closed. The refrigerator couldn't function optimally either.
When it was already loose, a number of people immediately dismantled the rubber door of the refrigerator. After that, the refrigerator door rubber is soaked in hot water for a few moments. That way, the rubber texture of the refrigerator door, which was initially stiff, will become flexible by itself.
If it is flexible, just put the refrigerator door rubber back in its original position. Because the rubber is flexible, it can be shaped and fits the size of the refrigerator. That way, there is no more space left so that the refrigerator door can be closed tightly.
But it doesn't just have to be dismantled, it turns out there is a more practical way to deal with loose refrigerator door rubber . This method was demonstrated by YouTube user WIJAYA ELEKTRONIK. At the beginning of the video, he shows the condition of the refrigerator whose rubber door is loose.
"This door rubber is bent and turned like this. What happens when you close it is that the top is tight but it can't be closed from here," he said, quoted by BrilioFood from YouTube WIJAYA ELEKTRONIK on Thursday (28/3).

How to deal with loose refrigerator door rubber so that it is tight again without needing to dismantle it.
Instead of dismantling the rubber door of the refrigerator, this netizen actually did a special method. In his video upload, he appears to be relying on one tool, namely a blower. If you don't have a blower at home, you can replace it with a hair dryer, OK?

Then turn on the blower and aim it at the refrigerator door rubber. Move the blower slowly from the top to the bottom of the refrigerator door rubber.
"This can make the refrigerator door rubber soft like this," explained the owner of the video.

Tricks for using the refrigerator to keep it clean and odorless.
To keep your refrigerator clean and odor-free, here are some tricks you can try.
1. Clean regularly.
Make sure you clean the refrigerator regularly, at least once a month. Throw away any expired or rotten food, and clean every part of the refrigerator with a solution of water and vinegar or a mild detergent.
2. Use natural odor absorbers.
Place a small cup filled with baking soda on the back shelf of the refrigerator. Baking soda can absorb unwanted odors.
3. Store food in closed containers.
Avoid storing food directly on the refrigerator shelf. Use closed containers or food storage bags to prevent food odors from seeping into the refrigerator.
4. Check temperature.
Make sure the refrigerator temperature is set correctly, usually between 1C to 4C. Temperatures that are too high can trigger the growth of bacteria and unwanted odors.
5. Clean up spills quickly.
If there is spilled food or drink in the refrigerator, clean it immediately so that it does not produce an unpleasant odor.
By consistently implementing the steps above, you can keep your refrigerator clean, fresh and free of unwanted odors.
