Is the freezer covered in ice? The simple trick to defrost it in 5 minutes

– Defrost the refrigerator with hot water

This hot water technique is even more effective for freezers. To use, bring water to a boil, then pour into a heatproof container. Place the latter in the freezer and let the steam act on the walls of the device.

While this technique helps speed up defrosting of your device , you’ll still need to replace the cooling water as you go. Something you will do more if the walls of the device are covered in particularly thick layers of ice.

– Defrost the refrigerator and freezer with a steam cleaner

The fastest method is to melt and remove the ice with the steam cleaner. With this method you can completely defrost an appliance in about 20 minutes.

These techniques are also an opportunity to remember the importance of regularly taking care of your refrigerator to ensure its lifespan.
