How to Clean Underneath a Refrigerator

You'll end up with a large collection of dust, food particles and even kitchen grease if you don't clean the area underneath the refrigerator regularly. While dust is unattractive, food particles and kitchen grease can actually attract mice and insects to your home. Regular dusting and a periodic thorough cleaning improves your home's cleanliness and discourages animals from moving in.
