Simple Tips on Cleaning Your Wine Refrigerator

Wine refrigerators, or a wine chiller, are a necessity for the proper storage of your wine bottles. They provide the most ideal environment for the wines to preserve their taste and age better with time. With its perfect conditions such as temperature and humidity, you can have impeccable-tasting wine each and every time you open a bottle.


Just like any other equipment, you need to keep your finest wine chiller clean to allow it to function well, become free from dirt, mildew and rust, as well as to make it last longer. You need to give particular attention to cleaning it as it is an electrical appliance.

Here are the tips to cleaning it. Please consult your instruction manual for advice relating specifically to the make and model of your unit:

1. Unplug the unit. Disconnect the wine refrigerator from the power source to avoid electrocution or causing a short circuit.

2. Preparing the cleaning mixture. Prepare two solutions; one for interior and other for the exterior. The interior solution should be a mixture of a litre of warm water and two tablespoons of baking soda. Make sure the baking soda is dissolved completely. The external solution should be a mixture of several drops of dish washing detergent and a bucket of warm water.

3. Clean the interior. With a sponge, wipe the removable shelves and clean the internal walls of the wine refrigerator with the baking soda solution. Then wipe with a clean rag and dry completely.

4. Clean the exterior. With the external detergent solution, clean the exterior using another sponge. Dry it with a dry clean rag thoroughly.

5. Dry the removable parts. Before putting the removable shelves back inside the wine chiller, make sure that these are dry.

6. Plug in the unit. Finally, when everything has been placed safely back inside the unit, you may plug it back now.

Wine refrigerators are a good investment for every wine collector, whether the collection is for business or just for personal consumption.
