Clean your fridge and oven before apartment handover

Why Fridge and Oven Cleaning is Crucial

Plan fridge and oven separately: defrosting, cooling and drying take time even when nobody is cleaning. Check each model’s manual and agree with management on the operating state required at handover.

Checklist: clean the fridge

Remove food and arrange suitable storage meanwhile. Switch off the appliance as its manual directs. Let ice thaw without sharp tools or improvised heat sources.

• Remove permitted shelves and drawers; do not abruptly heat cold glass.
• Wipe inside with an approved mild cleaner and soft cloth; do not flood electrics or openings.
• Remove residue, dry parts and check seals according to care instructions.
• Refit parts and agree the operating state for handover; leave no fragrances behind.

Checklist: clean the oven

Let the appliance cool fully as instructed. Check for catalytic liners, pyrolysis or delicate coatings. These determine the method; a universal baking-soda paste or overnight contact time is not suitable.

• Remove only permitted racks and trays and clean separately.
• Use an approved product at the stated dose and contact time; ventilate well.
• Avoid elements, seals and vents as instructed by the manual.
• Remove cleaner residue and dry; restart only as directed.

Tips for the Final Touch

Check handles, reachable exterior surfaces, refitted parts and remaining residue. Do not pull out built-in appliances or dismantle doors or electrical components yourself. Record defects separately from cleaning tasks.
