With this procedure, you only need to defrost once or twice a year, whether you have an old or new model refrigerator or freezer. And for this, salt is the central ingredient in this trick, where it is used as a brine solution and applied to the walls of the freezer.
To do this, first turn off your appliance. Next, add 2 tablespoons of salt to a bowl of hot water, pour the mixture into a spray bottle after the ingredient has completely dissolved in the water, and then spray the inside of your appliance. After a few minutes, the ice should melt. At the same time, remove the layer of ice with a wooden stick.
If the inside of your device ever turns yellowish, you can lighten it with hydrogen peroxide before rubbing it with a soft cloth soaked in glycerin. This creates a thin film that prevents the rapid formation of frost.
Other methods to
defrost the fridge and freezer The following methods can defrost the fridge and speed up the process. You can also combine them if that suits you.
– Defrost the fridge with baking soda.
If for whatever reason you do not have salt, baking soda is still a working alternative, even though it is not as effective as salt water. In any case, it prevents the formation of a layer of moisture, which eventually freezes and turns into a layer of ice over time.
To apply it, sprinkle a tablespoon of baking soda over the layers of ice and rub the ice in a cloth dipped in warm water and talcum powder.
