Pay special attention to the crevices and folds, as these areas tend to trap crumbs, grease, and moisture, which can lead to mould growth if left uncleaned.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In commercial kitchens, where high-risk foods like dairy, meat, and seafood are stored, maintaining hygiene is even more critical. Fridge seals should be sanitised regularly with food-safe disinfectants to eliminate bacteria, prevent cross-contamination, and comply with food safety standards. This is particularly important in environments where frequent opening and closing of fridge doors increase the risk of spills and debris accumulating in the seals.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 3: Remove Stubborn Dirt and Mould<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use a soft brush or an old toothbrush to gently scrub away tougher stains. If stains persist, mix baking soda and warm water into a thick paste and apply it to the affected areas. Let it sit for a few minutes before scrubbing again\u2014this natural abrasive helps lift dirt and mould without damaging the rubber seal.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 4: Dry the Seal Thoroughly<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use a clean, dry cloth to thoroughly wipe away any remaining moisture, paying extra attention to the folds and crevices where water can collect. Even small amounts of leftover moisture can create the perfect environment for mould and mildew to grow, so make sure the seal is completely dry before closing the refrigerator door.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What to Avoid When Cleaning Fridge Seals<\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Harsh chemicals \u2013 These can degrade rubber over time.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Abrasive scrubbing \u2013 Using rough materials may cause wear and tear.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sharp objects \u2013 Knives or hard tools can damage the seal.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Leaving moisture \u2013 Wet seals encourage mould growth.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maintaining Fridge Seals for Long-Lasting Performance<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Regular maintenance is key to keeping your fridge door seals in top condition, ensuring they remain effective at sealing in cold air and preventing unnecessary strain on your appliance.
