There you go, your fridge is now perfectly disinfected :-)

Why does it work?

How to Clean a Moldy Fridge (WITHOUT Using Bleach).

Thanks to its acidic pH, white vinegar cleans and disinfects surfaces.

The acetic acid contained in the vinegar eliminates mold and bacteria that have developed in the fridge.

The black soap combined with the action of the baking soda takes off and removes the last dirt.

Slightly abrasive, baking soda removes residue stuck to the walls of the fridge or shelves.

In addition, black soap and baking soda have a degreasing power.

Without forgetting that white vinegar and baking soda are two effective deodorants.

They don't just mask bad smells.

But they attack the molecules responsible for bad odors to eliminate them.
