1. Cleaning the refrigerator drain

The drain hole is usually at the back inside your refrigerator. If you notice the drain is blocked, it's a good idea to poke it through or remove the dirt with a knitting needle, cotton swab, or skewer. You can wrap some kitchen paper around the knitting needle or skewer so the dirt sticks to it. It's also smart to flush the drain with a bit of bleach or baking soda a few times a year. If you do this, make sure to rinse the drain with clean water afterwards.
