    Everything should be cleaned from the top down. Then all drips and crumbs that fall will not fall on already cleaned areas. Also, don't be intimidated about pulling a fridge away from the wall. The wheels make easy work of it. When cleaning a fridge, also empty and clean the condensation drip pan underneath, and also use a long handled skinny brush to clean the back and bottom which tend to collect lots of dust. Fridge tops can be greasy. Formula 409 cuts it instantly and completely. Textured fridge handles are cleaned fast and easily with a magic eraser type sponge. Always sweep, soak and mop the floor underneath while the fridge is pulled away from the wall. Lots of dust and dried on spills exist under there.

    I put shelf liners in the door of my refrigerator, that’s where I keep my condiments and sometimes they can have a sticky bottom ( depending on who puts stuff away) that way I don’t have to snap the side rails off as often. So glad you cleaned the top of the refrigerator a lot of people forget that. It gets real dusty up there.

    The seals around the edge of the doors are often just pressed in and can be removed, cleaned and put back easily. Also gives an opportunity to clean out the grooves they fit into. I also had a freezer where the seal had split at the top and I was able to turn it so that the split was at the bottom.

    You can also use a large plastic storage bin as a makeshift mini tub for things like this. The 18-gallon ones are pretty reasonable size to work with and can fit in the shower. It's especially handy if your shower has a handheld head so you can just spray everything down.

    We've got one of those double door fridges. Our glass shelf has to sit on a large towel on our dining table in order to be cleaned. *Tips for ice build up in large fridges, (freezer on bottom), or at least our model type needs this extra care monthly. It's annoying😮‍💨 -Some of the large fridges have a back panel (inside the fridge) that can be very carefully removed. A bit of the foam might crack off if ice has developed behind the panel, just remember to carefully put foam back in when done cleaning. (You'll know what I mean if you see the ice). We've had to do this twice ourselves, after someone came to service our fridge and showed us what all to do. I advise having someone show you how to service your fridge in person, works better than watching videos cuz most skip important steps. *It is a long process, so should ONLY be done when needed! This will take around 1 hour or longer. To speed up removal of ice build up use a steamer with a spray nozzle. Be ready with towels, keep 1 large towel on floor. Prep bags of ice 2 hours prior, or buy 1-2 bags if you cant make ice at home. If you can find one, use a metal rack shelf thing, lol, something like a cookie cooling rack that stands up 2-3in off the table, to use in your cooler, so things that have paper labels dont get soaked from melting ice. Also prevents containers that aren't leak proof from getting food inside ruined, trust me, we learned the hard way and had more to clean after that. Since our model does not have a thing at bottom of fridge, because of the freezer drawer, it's the back of the fridge where the dust collects. Because it's a back breaker to move these giants, I advise keeping an appliance dolley. If you know what appliance coasters work best for these fridges, PLEASE tell me!

    Also, our model has to have the air filter removed before tha back panel can be removed. It's tough to care for these big guys, but well worth it for families. And we took advantage of the amount of space one day, had a cake inside. It was quite a sight because I never had a fridge like this before. Can fit 2 pies just on 1 side of the shelf. Imagine 4 pies on 1 shelf. Or 2 large pies and 2 regular pies, with regular pies in front of the large pies. Oh, a Kenmore fridge I believe it is.

    TIP: Let the removable fridge contents sweat off in a garbage bag. I like to use Dawn Powerwash and Dawn Purple degreaser.
