Fridge deep cleaned while you're away on holiday - emptied, shelves and drawers washed, all surfaces sanitized, and fresh for your return.
### Come Home To Clean, Not Chaos
You're packing for holiday. **Open the fridge to use up the milk.** That smell hits you. Something's died in the salad drawer weeks ago. There's a mystery spillage on the bottom shelf.
"I'll clean it when we're back" you tell yourself. But you know you won't. You'll unpack, do washing, catch up on life. The fridge stays gross.
Book this before you go. You'll return to a properly clean fridge, ready for fresh food. One less horrible job after holiday.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Clear your fridge before holiday anyway - saves wasting food and money. Having it cleaned while you're away just makes perfect sense with the timing.

Good to Know
> 🧊 **How often should you deep clean?** Realistically every 3-4 months, or when something spills badly. Most people do it twice a year - spring and before Christmas. Holiday times are perfect opportunities. **Combine with freezer?** If you've got a fridge-freezer and want both done while you're away, we can do both services in one visit. Freezer takes longer (needs defrosting) but perfect timing while you're not there. **Older Exeter houses?** Some older fridges don't have removable shelves or are just generally awkward - I'm used to cleaning all types, including those ancient integrated ones with weird corners.
Frequently Asked Questions about Fridge clean while away in Newton Abbot
Why clean my fridge while I'm away on holiday?
Perfect timing - you've already cleared out anything that would go off, the fridge is nearly empty anyway, and you're not there needing to use it. I can take my time doing a proper deep clean, getting into all those corners and behind the drawers. You come home to a fresh, clean fridge ready for shopping.
What happens to any food left in the fridge?
Depends what you want - most people eat up or bin anything perishable before holiday. If there are condiments or long-life items you want keeping, I'll remove them during cleaning and put them back after. Anything questionable gets binned (I'll text photos if you want to check first).
Do you clean the freezer compartment too?
If it's a fridge-freezer I'll clean the fridge section - that's what goes off and needs regular cleaning. Freezer defrosting is a separate service (takes much longer). But I can do both while you're away if you want.
What about the outside and door seals?
All included - inside surfaces, shelves, drawers, door pockets, seals, and the outside too. It's a complete clean. Those seals get surprisingly grimy and they're important for efficiency.
How soon before I get home do you do it?
Usually the day before you return, or morning of return day. That way it's fresh and clean but had time to get cold again before you do a big shop. We'll time it right based on your holiday dates.
