Cleaning Fridge Stains

[Ajspicer]

Our 3 year old California is starting to develop some yellow staining on the inside of the fridge walls, has anyone else experienced this and do you have any suggestions on how to remove them or do we have to live with it? I have tried standard kitchen cleaner but no better.

Thanks

Andrew.

Neat Milton should act as a bleach. Then wash down and leave open for 48hrs.

I've not needed to use it on the fridge myself but I would try Bar Keepers Friend. It would always clean up our old white composite kitchen sink nicely (great for cleaning wood burning stove glass too)

Has anyone found a solution that works for getting rid of the yellow staining in fridge? I've found a few suggestions but nobody has confirmed if any have worked for them. Thanks

Old post I know but have the same problem and can confirm that bicarb, Milton solution and Astonish cup clean (kind of like a version of Barkeepers Friend in powder form) does NOT work on this kind of staining

Gumption Cleaning Paste and or HG Mould Spray

Thanks campandfly - I'm starting to think those stains are not "surface" stains that will react to pastes and gumption, but something actually reacting with the plastic. Looking at the shape it looks like the shadow of the basket bars which I think are powder coated steel. Was going to try Vanish oxi-action powder next and then next stop peroxide paste or liquid

That's why I mentioned the HG Mould spray. That's pretty good and works a little differently than bleach.

Any reason for it suddenly appearing?
