Defrosting the Freezer: 5 Little Tips To Do It The Natural Way
4) Wait the necessary time
Depending on the amount of ice accumulated and the size of the freezer, defrosting may take at least 2 hours . After removing all traces of ice, you can wipe down the interior and door of the freezer. If it gets dirty, it should be cleaned with a sponge soaked in lukewarm water and with a dry cloth. At this point you can restart the freezer, carefully following the instructions before storing the food.
5) How to speed up the melting of the frost
There are two ways to speed up the natural melting of ice. Just place a pot of very hot water inside the freezer or direct warm air into the thicker ice with a hairdryer. If you choose the latter option, it is important to avoid contacting the hair dryer with water or ice, always proceeding with caution, until the defrost is complete. DON'T DO THIS WITH BARE FEET ! After completing these steps, you can clean the freezer with a sponge and white vinegar diluted in water. This way you will have defrosted the freezer and it will also be disinfected!
