Is the frost returning after the thaw a few days ago? It is in a case like this that you can resort to an ingenious technique that will help you defrost your device more easily.
Thanks to this type of operation, you will not need to defrost more than once or twice a year, whether you have an old or a new model of refrigerator or freezer. And for this, salt is the ingredient that is the focus of this trick, which consists of using it in the form of a saline solution to apply it to the walls of the freezer.
To do this, first start by turning off your device. Next, add 2 tablespoons of salt to a bowl of hot water , 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.
If the inside of your device ever turns yellowish, you can use hydrogen peroxide to whiten it before rubbing it with a soft cloth soaked in glycerin. This will create a thin film that will help prevent rapid formation of frost layers.
Other methods to defrost the refrigerator and freezer
The following methods can defrost the refrigerator, speeding up the process. You can also combine them if it suits you.
– Defrost the refrigerator with baking soda
If for some reason you don’t have salt, baking soda is still an alternative that works even if it doesn’t have the degree of effectiveness of saline water. Either way, it helps prevent the formation of a layer of moisture that eventually freezes before turning into a layer of ice over time.
To apply, sprinkle a tablespoon of baking soda over the ice layers and then use a cloth soaked in warm water and talcum powder to scrub off the ice.
Let the product sit for 20 minutes and 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 to defrost manually but without using too much force. Then proceed to cleaning, being careful not to scratch the surfaces. Rinse with a damp microfiber cloth and dry before turning the device back on.
Remember on this occasion that baking soda is an excellent refrigerator deodorizer.
