Your fridge ends up hygienically clean, smells fresh and runs more efficiently because the seals and drains are clean again.

How fridge and freezer cleaning works

Visual checkThe professional takes a close look at the fridge and pinpoints problem spots, stubborn stains and sources of odour.
Removing shelves and accessoriesShelves, drawers, dividers and lids are taken out and cleaned one by one.
Applying suitable cleaning agentsFood-safe products without ammonia or harsh chlorine are used.
Drying and refittingAll parts are dried carefully so that no condensation or residue remains.
Final checkFinally, the door is checked to make sure it closes properly and the seals sit cleanly.

Advantages of professional fridge and freezer cleaning

Thorough hygiene without damaging materialsThe teams use special products for surfaces that come into contact with food. They are suitable for seals, shelves, drawers and inner walls, leave no toxic residue and are gentle on plastic, metal and glass.
Protecting the cold chainThe cleaning is planned so that your food does not stay unrefrigerated for long. It is best to keep perishable items in a cool bag or with ice packs in the meantime.
Targeted against bacteria and mouldBacteria such as salmonella or listeria settle particularly in damp areas and rubber seals. A thorough clean with food-safe products also reaches seal folds, drainage channels and closed compartments, reducing the risk of cross-contamination.
Odours neutralised at the sourceEnzymatic cleaners remove odours from the fridge instead of just masking them with fragrance. The inside smells neutral and fresh again.
Better overview and orderAfter the cleaning, you put your food back into a clean, well-organised fridge. This makes it easier to spot out-of-date products and reduce food waste.
Less wear and tearDirty door seals, blocked condensation drains or dust on the ventilation grilles reduce cooling performance. The appliance has to work harder and uses more electricity. Regular cleaning keeps it efficient and extends its life.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost?
Companies set their own prices on the platform. The price can depend on the quality of the cleaning agents they use, as well as the company’s experience and the skills of its professionals. Compare the offers of all companies by clicking the ‘See prices’ button.
What does fridge cleaning include?
Before the cleaning, all food must be taken out of the fridge and any magnets or personal items removed. The fridge is then cleaned thoroughly inside and out, including shelves, drawers and door seals. The freezer compartment is cleaned too. For the best result, defrost it beforehand, as ice is not removed during the cleaning.
How long does fridge cleaning take?
Up to two hours on average, depending on its size and how dirty it is. If you add the oven to the same booking, allow 2 to 4 hours for both appliances together.
How do I choose a cleaning company?
Domestina uses several criteria, such as professionalism, consistency, experience and efficiency, to make a recommendation. When you start your booking, the company with the Recommended Choice badge appears first in the list.
Do I need to defrost the freezer beforehand?
Heavily iced freezers should be defrosted about 12 hours beforehand. No-frost appliances need no preparation.
Are the cleaning products safe?
Yes. Only non-toxic, food-safe products are used, so you can put your food back in the fridge straight after the cleaning.
Can strong odours such as fish or garlic be removed?
Yes. Enzymatic cleaners neutralise even very stubborn organic odours.
How long before the appointment should I start emptying the fridge?
Ideally 30 to 60 minutes beforehand, depending on how full it is. Allow a little time to store the food somewhere in the meantime, for example in a cool bag or a cool place.
What should I do with perishable food during the cleaning?
Perishable items such as milk, meat or fish should be kept as cool as possible. If needed, use ice packs or store them briefly in a suitable place so that the cold chain is broken as little as possible.
Can I book the cleaning if my fridge is very dirty?
Yes, that is exactly what the cleaning is for. The only important thing is that the fridge is empty and easy to reach.
Should I switch the fridge off before the appointment?
Usually this is not necessary. If you want to defrost the freezer compartment anyway, switching the fridge off can be part of that preparation. Please follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
How can I stop odours coming back quickly after the cleaning?
Store strong-smelling food in well-sealed containers and wipe up small spills straight away. Checking your food regularly also stops odours building up in the first place.
Is there an ideal time to book fridge cleaning?
Many households book before a big shop, after a holiday or when they want to reorganise the fridge. That way you start with a clean slate and find it easier to keep things in order.
Can I put the food back straight after the cleaning?
Yes, as soon as the cleaning is finished. Put the products back neatly and seal them as well as possible to avoid new residue.
What if I have magnets or decorations on the fridge door?
Please remove them completely before the appointment. This allows the outside surfaces to be cleaned thoroughly and makes the cleaning quicker.
Does fridge cleaning also help with older appliances?
Yes. A thorough clean improves hygiene and freshness whatever the age of the appliance. What matters is that it is accessible and that you have emptied it beforehand.
Is fridge cleaning also recommended for rented homes?
Yes. Especially when moving out or before moving in, cleaning the fridge is one of the most important steps for comfort and food safety. The fridge is used every day, and its history is not always known.
How often should I have my fridge cleaned?
It depends mainly on use. A family fridge that is filled every day gets dirty faster than one used only occasionally. If babies, older people or anyone with a weakened immune system live in the household, a professional clean is recommended at least every three months. No-frost appliances get dirty inside too, and a spot near a window or heat source encourages bacteria and odours. After a power cut, spoiled food or spilt liquids, do not wait for the next interval: have the fridge cleaned straight away.

Home versus professional fridge cleaning

Tools and productsAt home, general-purpose cleaners are usually used, and these are not always suitable for contact with food. Professional cleaning uses food-safe cleaning agents, clean microfibre cloths and fine tools for hard-to-reach corners.
Hidden areas tooCleaning at home rarely gives shelves, seal folds and drainage channels proper attention. The professionals clean part by part, so bacteria or dirt cannot build up unnoticed in hard-to-reach places.
Removing odours effectivelyAt home, people often reach for air fresheners or home remedies such as bicarbonate of soda. Professionals use enzymatic cleaners that neutralise odours at the source instead of masking them with fragrance.
Spotting wear earlySigns of wear, such as brittle seals or blocked drains, are also often noticed during the cleaning. Spotting them early makes bigger problems easier to avoid.
Time and resultsWhat can take many hours at home, a professional service does faster and more thoroughly, without unplugging the appliance or disrupting your day for long. A quick clean at home only eases the problem for a while, whereas professional cleaning tackles the cause.

When is professional fridge and freezer cleaning especially important?

Regular care matters, but in some situations a thorough clean is particularly advisable: after a long absence or a holiday, after a power cut, when meat or fish juices have leaked, if there is mould or a lingering odour and when moving in or out.

In all these cases, professional cleaning is worth it. The professional assesses the condition of the appliance and adapts the approach to the level of soiling and the materials.

Consequences of inadequate cleaning

A fridge can look clean and still hide contamination that affects the quality of your food. Typical consequences are odours that settle into plastic and seals, bacteria and mould in seal folds, higher electricity use due to dirty seals and ventilation grilles, and food that spoils faster.

Keeping the fridge hygienic after the cleaning

Keep the inside organisedSeparate food by type, use airtight containers and label them with the date. This helps prevent spills, odours and bacteria. Not overloading the shelves also keeps the cold air circulating well.
Wipe up small spills straight awayWiping up splashes and leaks immediately stops them seeping into seals or under the drawers. A microfibre cloth and a mild cleaner are all you need day to day.
Check the contents once a weekSort out out-of-date or spoiled food once a week. This reduces the risk of cross-contamination and prevents unpleasant odours.
Check the temperature and door sealCheck that the door closes properly and that the temperature is set as the manufacturer recommends. Food then stays fresh for longer, energy use stays low and there is less condensation and mould.
