Preventing the formation of mold: good practices to adopt
Rather than waiting for mold to grow, take a few simple steps to prevent it from appearing.
- Clean the joint regularly: Monthly maintenance is enough to prevent the accumulation of bacteria and dirt.
- Dry thoroughly after each cleaning: Humidity encourages mold growth.
- Place a container of baking soda in the refrigerator: It absorbs moisture and neutralizes odors.
- Leave the door ajar if you turn off the refrigerator: This prevents mold from forming during long periods of inactivity.
- Check the condition of the seal: A damaged seal promotes moisture accumulation and reduces the energy efficiency of the refrigerator.
