You can use a mixture of hydrogen peroxide and baking soda, which will not only clean but also bleach plastic surfaces without damaging them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After cleaning, don&#8217;t forget to disinfect the freezer, especially when storing meat and other foods.<br>Chlorhexidine is an excellent choice for treating dry plastic surfaces after washing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, to prevent future ice buildup, apply a thin layer of glycerin to the dry surfaces of the freezer after all procedures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Having excess ice in your freezer can be a serious headache for any homemaker.
