How to clean a very dirty refrigerator

cleaningmoldrefrigerator

I just got a new house and inherited a very moldy and mildewy refrigerator. My first though it to get some cleaning spray with bleach and just go to town, but I'm worried the bleach might damage the fridge in some way. It's close enough to an outside door that I could take it outside and hose it out as well. I'm wondering if others have had a similar situation and got good results with a particular set of cleaning products.

Here's my 0.02:

For starters, check with the refrigerator manufacturer for official cleaning instructions. Some have explicit cleaning instructions/restrictions.

Try basic cleaning first (a good how-to is available here: http://www.ehow.com/how_92_clean-refrigerator.html).

Assuming that doesn't do the trick, you can try bleach but be careful. Another good how-to is available here: http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/2489239/how_to_clean_a_moldy_refrigerator.html
