When using an oven cleaner or any other specialized cleaning product, read the label carefully and follow instructions. Many cleaning products are harmful if inhaled or allowed to touch your skin. To defrost the refrigerator, turn it off, empty it, and let the water from the melting frost drip into a tray or pan which you can empty into the sink. You can speed the process of melting the frost by putting a pan of boiling water in the refrigerator beneath the frosted area. Wipe the inside of the refrigerator with a solution of water and baking soda.
Some refrigerators defrost automatically.
You should ask your landlord how to take care of yours. Disposal of Trash and Garbage Ask your landlord what you should do with trash and garbage. Refuse is collected once weekly by employees of Rochester's Department of Public Works. If your apartment has a garbage disposal in the sink, be sure to ask your landlord what kinds of waste should and should not be put into it. Be careful that silverware, chopsticks or bones are not put in your garbage disposal.
