Brilio.net - Freezers filled with frost are often a problem for many people. The accumulated layer of ice can block cold access to food, even making the freezer door difficult to close tightly. If left for a long time, the freezer's efficiency will decrease, thus inhibiting optimal cooling.
Cleaning the frost regularly is an important step to maintain the freezer's performance at its best. Many people choose the method of unplugging the refrigerator and letting the frost melt naturally. However, this method takes a long time and is less practical for those of you who have a busy schedule.
It turns out, there is a simple trick that can be done using only one kitchen ingredient. An Instagram user @rizal8532, reported by brilio.net on Saturday (8/3), shared his trick, showing how easy it is to clean frost with only 1 kitchen ingredient. Yup, the kitchen ingredient is hot water, frost on the freezer can fall off easily.

Hot water can be an effective solution to melt frost without damaging the freezer components. The hot temperature of the water helps speed up the melting process, making the layer of ice that sticks to the freezer walls easier to remove. In addition, this method is safer than using sharp objects that can risk damaging the freezer surface.

The trick shared is quite easy and practical. First, prepare a glass of hot water. Make sure the water temperature is high enough, but not boiling to avoid the risk of splashes that can hit the hands.
After that, put the glass of hot water in the freezer. It is recommended to do this trick when the freezer is off to be more effective. Let it sit for about 30 minutes until the steam from the water starts working.
The frost that was originally frozen will start to melt and be easier to remove. Just pry it off slowly with a non-sharp tool, such as a ladle, so as not to damage the freezer walls.

Once the frost has been removed, clean up the rest immediately. You can use a rag or ladle to remove the frost to make sure the freezer is completely clean. Do this thoroughly so that no frost remains.
This method is proven to be safer than using sharp objects such as knives. With a ladle, the risk of leakage or scratches on the freezer wall can be minimized. In addition, this method is also faster than waiting for the frost to melt on its own.
Cleaning the freezer with this trick can be a practical solution for those of you who want to keep the refrigerator clean without any hassle. In addition to being easy, this method also does not require special tools, just by using the hot water in the kitchen.
