Dust

Household dust is an ideal habitat for bacteria, dirt and other microorganisms as well as traces of everyday household chemical exposures.

Cleaning a refrigerator is impossible however regular cleaning can help reduce dust and ensure the temperature at a constant level. A dirty fridge is a waste of energy due to overheating, and is inefficient. If your fridge is producing more noise than usual, or if you think it's running out of energy due to overworking, it may be time to have it checked out.

Unlike other airborne particulates, dust doesn't simply drift into the air from outside, as is commonly believed. It contains resuspended soil from the house that is often contaminated with lead and other toxic substances, as well as pollen, mold spores and car exhaust. It also has the legacy pollutants like DDT that were banned 100 years ago.

Certain compounds, such as flame retardants such as decabromodiphenylether are able to dissolve into the air. But the majority of chemicals found in house dust come from objects that are knocked off, for example, electronic equipment. High-molecular-weight substances, such as surfactants used in cleaners and paint strippers, also migrate directly into dust.

A dirty refrigerator can adversely impact your health, not to mention contaminating food. It can contain allergens such as pet dander, and the droppings of cockroaches, which can trigger asthma and allergic reactions in many people. It also contains bacteria-related spores like staphylococcus.

A recent study found that homes of children who were diagnosed with leukemia tended to have higher levels of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons PBDEs and PCBs in their dust than homes of healthy kids.

Condenser Coils

When refrigerators are running correctly, the coils on the back and front of the appliance should be able of dispersing the heat created by the compressor. But when these radiator-like parts are covered with dust, pet hair or lint, the compressor is forced to work continuously trying to cool the fridge but ends up wearing down the unit. It is essential to regularly clean your coils.

This will reduce the chance of electrocuting yourself or family members while working on the appliance. If you're allergic to dust, it's recommended to wear a face mask.
