Fridge cleaning.

It doesn't defrost during the short time I am scraping down the freezer either:))

We use several sleeping bags, or spare blankets will do. That way we can keep the food frozen for 24 hrs no problem, so there is no need for a steam cleaner, let the ice melt naturally.

I would be surprised if the food was still properly frozen after 24 hours.

What about cleaning the freezer?

Definitely still frozen after 24 hrs. =20 Mind you we have masses of old sleeping bags.

I once used a cook's blow-torch to de-frost my freezer. It has a leak in the door-seal and froze up really badly. Took ages but worked a treat. I was fortunate not to burn anything. The fridges/freezers I have nowadays are self-defrosting.

A fan heater or hair drier is probably a better solution (as long as you keep them away from the melt water).

My grandfather turned a fridge into something Salvador Dali would have been proud of by doing that, although that was a long time ago.

blimey, you like your fridge live dangerously, didnt you have a flamethrower, handy? :-)

I've used a fan heater to defrost when I was in a hurry, but on the low setting and not too close.

It worked quite well but then there was a great deal of ice. Came off in great chunks. I don't have that fridge any more but it didn't suffer in the process and lasted another couple of years after being 'done'.

Were there purple dots in the corners?

Oh no, that was Miro....

Hmmm....

I didn't think that accountants did *anything* unexpected.

Having said that, they are not as bad as actuaries. These are people who found accountancy too exciting.

Some accountants are boring. Especially some of the men. If you are a real accountant, it is anything but.

I see. Turf accountant? :-)

I like that series of images. The pen is mightier than the sword and, when wielded by an expert, Excel can blow the swordsman away :-)

Mind you, "You've gotta AUDIT those Commie " doesn't have quite the right ring for most people.

Do what ive done, buy a new fridge :-) Replacing the Indesit fridge/freezer 35 years old, never a fault except the enamels worn off.

My fridge is almost new, and I'd rather clean it than throw it away!
