Mold growth on a fridge door is not only unsightly but also a potential health hazard. Mold thrives in moist, dark environments, making the refrigerator an ideal spot for spores to develop, especially around the rubber gasket and door seals. If left unchecked, mold can produce unpleasant odors and contaminate your food.
Fortunately, removing mold from your fridge door is easy with the right cleaning methods and preventive measures. Follow this detailed step-by-step guide to eliminate mold safely and keep your fridge clean and fresh!

✅ High humidity inside the fridge
✅ Spilled food or liquids that are not cleaned properly
