Interior Surfaces
Wash the interior surfaces of your refrigerator with four tablespoons of baking soda dissolved in one quart of warm water. Use a soft, clean cloth. Rinse these surfaces with warm water, and dry with a soft clean cloth.
Do not use the following to clean interior surfaces:
•Abrasive or harsh cleaners, such as ammonia or chlorine bleach
•Concentrated detergents or solvents
