Introduction

Does your kitchen smell bad or your fridge feel greasy? That’s a sign your home needs deep cleaning—urgently.

Many homeowners in Malaysia struggle with odors, mold, and stubborn stains in their fridges and kitchens. Deep cleaning isn’t just regular wiping — it’s a thorough method that removes hidden dirt, bacteria, and leaves your kitchen smelling fresh and looking new.


Why Do Your Kitchen & Fridge Need Deep Cleaning?

❌ Food can get contaminated by bacteria and foul smells

❌ Stubborn grease can damage cabinets and kitchen surfaces

❌ Hidden grime attracts cockroaches and flies

✅ Deep cleaning helps maintain food safety and hygiene

✅ Your fridge lasts longer and kitchen stays fresh

According to a study by Malaysia’s Ministry of Health (KKM), over 60% of households don’t clean their fridge thoroughly every month.


  1. Remove all food and store in a cooler box

  2. Take out all shelves and drawers — soak in warm soapy water

  3. Use a mix of baking soda + lemon water to wipe surfaces

  4. Wipe the fridge door gasket — a hotspot for bacterial growth

  5. Place activated charcoal or baking soda in an open container to absorb smells


How to Remove Stubborn Grease in the Kitchen

  • Mix white vinegar + hot water + dish soap

  • Use a scrub pad or brush to clean tile gaps & behind the stove

  • Use a little clean cooking oil to loosen old sticky grease

  • Wipe again with a damp microfiber cloth


Tips to Prevent Bad Odors & Sticky Stains

✅ Store food in sealed containers

✅ Discard spoiled items weekly

✅ Wipe surfaces after cooking, especially oil splashes

✅ Use natural deodorizers like charcoal or baking soda


Hire one if:

  • You don’t have time for a deep clean

  • Fridge smells bad despite regular cleaning

  • You can't stand the sticky, greasy tiles and walls

✅ In cities like KL, Selangor, and Johor Bahru, demand for professional deep cleaning is increasing due to busy lifestyles.
