Get Clean reminder

Dusty condenser coils cause a refrigerator to work harder; which translates into bigger energy bills and a shorter life expectancy for the fridge – not good. To prevent this from happening, use a vacuum or broom to remove dust build up from the coils every three months (once a month if you have pets). The coils will either be located behind the refrigerator or underneath the refrigerator. To access coils located underneath, remove the grill at the bottom front of the fridge.

Food for thought (and consumption)

One way to preserve your fruits/vegetables in the refrigerator longer is to store them in a cloth bag instead of a sealed plastic bag. They can be used dry for purchasing your items at the store or market and for storing dry fruits, like apples, and you can store misted vegetables, like greens, placed in the dry bag in your refrigerator crisper drawer.
