    Soak the removed fridge shelves in the same solution. Wipe with a wet soft cloth or sponge and dry it with towel and place them back in.

Wipe the doors with a soapy wet sponge or soft cloth and dry it with towel. Clean the area where the refrigerator door and frame touch when closed. We often found finger prints around handles; make sure you clean the area with more attention. For stainless steel handles, use commercial stainless steel spray and wipe in the direction of the grain.

Clean Exterior:
Finally clean both sides( exterior) of the refrigerator with a wet sponge and dry it with towel.

As a final touch, place all the food items at their places and plug the refrigerator back in and it is ready to do use. However, wiping down your appliance every couple of days depending on how often you use it.
