How to Keep Your Freezer Ice-Free: A Simple Trick That Works Wonders | April 5, 2025

Introduction:
Are you tired of constantly battling ice buildup in your freezer? It can be frustrating to open your freezer and find it covered in ice, making it harder to find your frozen foods and affecting the efficiency of your appliance. Fortunately, there’s an easy trick that helped me get rid of this issue once and for all. This method is simple, effective, and won’t cost you a fortune. Here’s how you can say goodbye to freezer ice buildup forever!

Ingredients:

A clean sponge or cloth
Baking soda
Vinegar
A bowl of warm water
A small amount of corn starch
Plastic containers (optional)
Instructions:

Turn off your freezer to avoid any electrical mishaps. Take everything out of the freezer and place it in a cooler or insulated bag to keep it cold while you clean.

Remove the ice: If there’s already ice buildup, use a plastic spatula or scraper to gently break it up. Be careful not to damage the freezer’s interior.

Create the cleaning solution: In a bowl, mix one tablespoon of baking soda, two tablespoons of vinegar, and a cup of warm water. Stir until the ingredients are dissolved.

Clean the freezer: Dip your sponge or cloth into the solution and wipe down all surfaces of the freezer, including walls, shelves, and the door seal.

Apply corn starch: After cleaning, lightly dust a small amount of corn starch over the surfaces of the freezer. This step is key—it creates a protective layer that helps prevent moisture buildup, which is the main cause of ice.
