Having excess ice in your freezer can be a serious headache for any homemaker.

Even if you defrost your freezer frequently, sometimes ice will still form again within just a few days, indicating a possible problem with the freezer.

If you are having problems with ice in your freezer, the first step should be to thoroughly defrost and clean the freezer.

Proper care will reduce the number of defrosts to once or twice a year, even for older models.

One of the most effective defrosting methods is using hot water and salt solution.

To do this, place a container of hot water in the freezer and prepare a solution by dissolving 2 tablespoons of salt in a glass of water.

To simplify the procedure, you can pour the solution into a spray bottle and carefully spray the inside walls of the freezer.

This will help the ice to come off faster and it can be easily removed using, for example, wooden spatulas, so as not to damage the surface.

It’s also important to know how to effectively bleach plastic. You can use a mixture of hydrogen peroxide and baking soda, which will not only clean but also bleach plastic surfaces without damaging them.

After cleaning, don’t forget to disinfect the freezer, especially when storing meat and other foods.
Chlorhexidine is an excellent choice for treating dry plastic surfaces after washing.

Finally, to prevent future ice buildup, apply a thin layer of glycerin to the dry surfaces of the freezer after all procedures.
