Step 2: Empty and Ventilate the Fridge

✔️ Let it sit for 5–10 minutes to break down the mold.
✔️ Wipe the area with a soft cloth or sponge.
Step 4: Scrub the Rubber Gasket

✅ Rinse with a damp cloth and dry completely.
Step 5: Rinse and Dry the Surface

✔️ Use a dry towel to absorb excess moisture, preventing mold from coming back.
