How do you clean your fridge shelves?

[LadySybildeChocolate]

I have a whirlpool fridge freezer, and the shelves are a real pain to clean as there's a plastic coating around the edges which has developed gunk underneath. I've tried a cocktail stick, but I can't seem to get under the edge to clean it. Any ideas? Thank you.

I stick mine in the dishwasher.

Put them in the dishwasher if they come out, otherwise unclip the plastic front and run a cotton bud along it.

Take off the plastic thingie.

Cotton wool bud (damp) run around in slot of plastic thingie for degunking

All in dishwasher.

Argue with plastic thingies when trying to get them back on.

Oppss are you suppose to clean them

Only joking!!
Dishwasher

I've tried that, I can't get the plastic from around the edge off.

take them out, put in sink, hot water, WUL, nylon brush.

That'll go in the dishwasher.

I tried that, Piglet, it didn't work. Then I put them into the dishwasher, it's done a great job but there's still little bits under the seal. They look far better then they did before, so thank you

You could bleach the gunky bits back white...

I've tried that, the whole fridge smells of bleach.

Dishwasher, then stop looking...

My clothes are hung wrong on the line, I don't clean my washing machine and dishwasher with soda crystals enough. I buy naice ham please don't make me cotton bud my fridge! Bloody MN!

Ok, how do I get rid of the stench of bleach? Half a potato and a chopped up lemon isn't working.

Half a lemon dipped in salt. Works for fridge destinking, mould and upvc windows.
Rinse off with damp cloth

Mould? I have some on the seal around fridge number 1 (don't ask). Does it get rid of the coloured spots?

I love mumsnet

Yes mould! Removed all the scum off my shower curtain too. Magical.
Got it off Pinterest I think.

Ooooh... I'm going to try that in a minute! Kim and Aggie, eat your heart out.

Did it work?

I don't know, I can't find the salt (don't use it very often)
