<\/figure>\n\n\n\nHow do you defrost a refrigerator or freezer covered in frost?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Is the frost returning after your defrost a few days ago? It is in a case like this that you can resort to an ingenious technique to help you defrost your device more easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thanks to this type of operation, you will not need to defrost more than once or twice a year, <\/strong> whether you have a old or a new model of refrigerator or freezer. And precisely for this reason, salt is the protagonist ingredient of this trick which consists in using it in the form of a saline solution to be applied to the walls of the freezer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To do this, first start by turning off your device. Next, add 2 tablespoons of salt to a container of hot water<\/strong> , pour the mixture into a spray bottle after completely dissolving the ingredient in the water, then spray the inside of your device. After a few minutes, the ice should melt. At the same time, use a wooden stick to remove the layer of frost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If the inside of your device becomes yellow, you can use hydrogen peroxide to whiten it before wiping it with a soft cloth soaked in glycerin. This will create a thin film which will help prevent layers of frost from forming quickly.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The following methods can defrost your refrigerator by speeding up the process. You can also combine them if that suits you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If for some reason you don’t have salt, baking soda remains an alternative that works even if it doesn’t have the level of effectiveness of saline water. In any case, it helps prevent the formation of a layer of moisture that eventually freezes before turning into a layer of ice over time.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n To apply, sprinkle a tablespoon of baking soda on the layers of ice, then use a cloth soaked in warm water and powder to rub the ice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Let the product sit for 20 minutes, then repeat the process again before breaking the ice using a mixture of hot water and baking soda to help defrost. For stubborn ice, use a wooden or rigid plastic spatula<\/strong> to defrost manually but without using too much force. Then proceed with cleaning, taking care not to scratch the surfaces. Rinse with a damp microfiber cloth and dry before turning the device back on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Remember on this occasion that baking soda is an excellent refrigerator deodorizer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This hot water technique is even more effective for freezers. To use, bring water to a boil, then pour into a heatproof container. Place the latter in the freezer<\/strong> and let the steam act on the walls of the device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While this technique allows to speed up the defrosting of the device<\/strong> , you will still have to replace the water as it cools down as you go. Something you will do more if the walls of the device are covered in particularly thick layers of ice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The fastest method is to melt and remove the ice with the steam cleaner. With this method it is possible to completely defrost an appliance in about 20 minutes.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n These techniques are also an opportunity to remember the importance of regularly taking care of your refrigerator to ensure its lifespan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The refrigerator is a necessary appliance and certainly one of the most useful in the house.
