⚠️ Often overlooked

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my fridge smell?
Spilled liquids, forgotten leftovers, vegetable drawer gunk, and bacteria in seals. The cold slows smell but doesn't stop it. Deep cleaning addresses all sources.
Is fridge cleaning necessary for hygiene?
Yes - bacteria can grow even in cold temperatures. The salad drawer, door seals, and shelves all harbour germs. Worth doing properly regularly.
What about the back coils - do you clean those?
We can check them if accessible. Dusty coils make the fridge work harder. Some fridges have accessible coils, others don't - we'll advise.
How often should fridges be deep cleaned?
Every 3-4 months for hygiene. More often if you notice smells or spills. Prevention is easier than dealing with established problems.
