Dust
Dust in the house is a magnet for dirt, bacteria and other microorganisms as well as the traces of household chemical exposures. The tiny particles can trigger allergic reactions as well as inhalation and provide a perfect surface for microbes, including those that may cause an infection when they come into contact with an open cut.
Cleaning a refrigerator is not easy however regular cleaning can help reduce dust and maintain the temperature at a constant level. A dirty fridge is a waste of energy because it overheats, and is inefficient. If you suspect your fridge is producing louder sounds than normal, or is operating at a high rate of energy consumption due to its overwork, it might be time to call the experts.
Dust doesn't drift into the air from outside as is commonly thought. It is made up of resuspended dirt from your home, which can be contaminated by lead or other poisonous substances. It also contains pollen, mold and car exhaust. It also retains the legacy pollutants like DDT that were banned decades ago.
Certain compounds, such as flame retardants, such as decabromodiphenylether, volatilize into the air. However, the majority chemicals in dust originate from objects that are knocked off, such as electronic equipment. High-molecular-weight substances, such as surfactants used in cleaners and paint strippers, also migrate directly into dust.
Apart from contaminating the food in the refrigerator, a smoky refrigerator can also affect your health. It could harbor allergens, such as pet dander, and the droppings of cockroaches which can trigger asthma and allergic reactions for many people. It can also contain bacteria spores, like staphylococcus aureus, which could cause infection if they make their way into a wound.
Researchers have discovered that a wide range of health conditions can be traced to dust pollution, ranging from cardiovascular disease to cancer to leukemia and inflammatory bowel disease. Recent research showed that the dust in the homes of children with leukemia contained higher levels of PCBs as well as PBDEs and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.
Condenser Coils
When refrigerators run correctly, the coils on the back and front of the appliance should dissipate heat generated by the compressor. But when these radiator-like parts are covered with pet hair, dust, or lint, the compressor is forced to work overtime trying to cool the fridge, and eventually wears down the appliance. It is essential to keep your coils clean.
Before starting, disconnect and shut off the refrigerator's power supply. This can reduce the risk of electrocuting yourself or family members when working on the appliance. If you are allergic to dust it's recommended to wear a mask for your face. You will then need to find the coils. These are typically at the rear of the fridge or on the front, across the base of some models. If you are unsure where to find them go through your fridge's owner manual or contact the manufacturer for more details.
Once you've located the coils, you will have to take off the access panel, if there's one. You can then alternate between vacuuming the coils using an attachment for a narrow hose and brushing them with a condenser coil cleaning brush. It's important to be patient when doing this to avoid bending or damaging the coils. Replace the kick panel or move the refrigerator to its the correct position, and then connect it to the electrical outlet.
If you aren't comfortable doing this by yourself, you can always employ a professional. It's cheaper and simpler to maintain the cleaning routine in order to prevent the issue from occurring.
