Even though the spray method allows for quick cleaning, safety is the priority. Here is what you need to remember:
- NO Metal Objects: Knives, screwdrivers, or other sharp tools can puncture the freezer walls and pierce the freon pipes, destroying the appliance permanently. Use only plastic or wood scrapers.
- Electrical Safety: While this trick is often shared as a method to do “without unplugging” (for speed), the official and safest recommendation is always to unplug the appliance before working with liquids inside it to avoid any risk of electric shock.
- Don’t Leave Water Behind: Ensure all corners and seals are perfectly dry before restarting the cooling process, otherwise, ice will form again very quickly.
- Rest Period: If you did unplug the fridge, let it “rest” for 10–15 minutes after cleaning before plugging it back in.
