For a long time now, the refrigerator is one of the electronic devices that are extremely familiar to each of our Vietnamese households.
Refrigerator helps to store and preserve food for the family, is a great home appliance of housewives. Helps food not to go rancid, especially in this hot summer, leaving food out will soon be moldy.
However, the refrigerator also needs to be used properly to achieve its effectiveness, because otherwise this will be a place to accumulate harmful bacteria for food, turning them into a disease for your family. .
That’s why in today’s article I will share with you some good tips to limit bacteria from accumulating and multiplying in the refrigerator.
#first. Clean the fridge regularly
Obviously, this is the minimum that anyone should do if they do not want your refrigerator to smell.
You should clean the refrigerator regularly by using a damp cloth to wipe away the dust on the outside of the refrigerator. In addition, if you are more careful, use a little more glass cleaner to help the surface of the refrigerator become more shiny.
To clean the inside of the refrigerator, as well as to deodorize it, spray a little diluted vinegar and then wait a few minutes, then wipe it with a soft cloth. Please unplug the power before cleaning the inside of the refrigerator, guys!
#2. Turn on the cold mode to suit the type of food in the refrigerator
To preserve food inside the refrigerator as long as possible, you also need to adjust the cold mode to suit each type of food.
If there are many different foods inside the refrigerator such as meat, vegetables, dried food, milk, etc., you need to lower the temperature in the refrigerator to avoid mold and bacteria growth.
Any new refrigerator when buying has a user manual, please read it carefully before using it. Other electronics you can skip without reading, but with refrigerators, I recommend you to read.
Read on to know the uses of each compartment, so you can organize your things accordingly. Not all refrigerators are arranged the same, guys, each company will have different designs, different advantages that if you do not read, you will not use it properly.
#3. Sort the food inside the fridge into categories

To avoid cross-contamination of bacteria between different foods, we must not “mix” all in one place, but need to divide the position of each type of food so that it is reasonable.
In addition, this keeps foods preserved longer without losing nutrients.
#4. Avoid storing too much food in the refrigerator
This is a very common situation, especially during the epidemic period covid-19 disease makes every house store a lot of food inside the refrigerator (to limit having to go out often).
However, many people forget that this will cause cold-loving bacteria to multiply inside foods that have been stored for too long and turn the refrigerator into a breeding ground for mold bacteria.
Not only that, the storage of too much food inside the refrigerator also causes the obstruction of cold air circulation, making the temperature not evenly distributed in locations.
So don’t try to cram too many things into the fridge, don’t try to buy too much food to save, watch out for illness.
#5. Wash food and wrap it carefully before putting it in the refrigerator
Never put dirty things in the refrigerator because when buying food at the market, especially raw vegetables, there will always be layers of dirt clinging to it.
So, if you don’t want bacteria to accumulate in the refrigerator, it’s best to wash anything before storing it in the refrigerator.
Besides, you also need to carefully wrap food, leftovers or raw meat. If you leave it open, it will cause an unpleasant odor to the refrigerator, creating conditions for bacteria to grow.
#6. Close the refrigerator carefully, do not leave it open for too long
This is something that everyone should do. If you leave the refrigerator door open for too long because you don’t close it carefully, bacteria and insects from the outside will get in to “disturb” the food inside your refrigerator.
In addition, this also reduces the temperature inside the refrigerator and costs your home a lot of electricity.
#7. What should not be put in the refrigerator?
The refrigerator is an ideal place to store food, but that does not mean that you put everything in the refrigerator.
Here are some tips for you:
+) The refrigerator should not be used to preserve tubers and fruits such as potatoes, onions, onions, garlic, whole melons (watermelon, cantaloupe..), eggplant, banana, apple, avocado, eggplant. sour when not peeled and preliminarily processed.
+) Do not put cold rice in the refrigerator because Bacillus Ceceus bacteria will grow in it.
+) Do not leave bread, coffee, olive oil, wine or sauces in the refrigerator.
+) Do not put fish sauce in the refrigerator because this will cause odors and when they evaporate, it will reduce the life of the refrigerator.
+) Watermelon, cantaloupe … when exposed to cold air will lose many nutrients, so this is also a food that should not be stored for a long time in the refrigerator, should only be cooled and eaten immediately.
