Brilio.net - The quality of household items , including electronics, tends to decline over time. Age and improper maintenance are often the main causes of this problem.
Refrigerators, one of the most widely used electronic devices, also require special attention to keep them functioning optimally. In addition to maintaining their cooling performance, maintenance of the appearance and body of the refrigerator is also important to prevent damage such as rust.
The appearance of rust on the refrigerator door is a common problem that is often overlooked. A little rust left can spread, making the refrigerator look less attractive, and even causing corrosion.
According to the Hunker page, the meeting of cold air inside the refrigerator and hot air outside can create condensation. This humid condition accelerates the rusting process, especially if the protective layer of the refrigerator door is damaged.
This problem is often exacerbated by the habit of cleaning the refrigerator using water that is not wiped dry. However, a creative father managed to find a simple and cheap way to overcome this problem. The trick only requires simple ingredients that are easy to find and costs less than Rp40 thousand.
