You know those vent cover things on the bottom of your refrigerator? Right below your
refrigerator door? Those things that seem to fall off at 3am when you wake up and stumble
to your ‘fridge for a refreshing drink or a snack you know you shouldn’t have? Well, I
have a rental property in the nearby vicinity. Recently I had to spend some time up there
cleaning it up after some tennants (who may not get their security deposit back),
and the refrigerator vent cover was off and laying in the pantry. I cleaned it in the
sink with some SOS pads, and went to replace it. I had to open the door and get down on
the floor to get proper access. When I looked under the ‘fridge, I was amazed to see that
it was apparently growing hair! Instinctively thinking ‘this cannot be good’, I started to
remove the hair (dust, dirt, and who knows what else). Eventually, I began to see
refrigeration coils. I decided, that although it’s not something we often think about,
cleaning under our refrigerators is something we should all probably get in the habit of
doing once a year, or when we change the clocks, or something. I know what I’m doing as
soon as I get home!
