A fridge should ideally be a safe and hygienic place to chill and freeze all your food. To help further this purpose, many models of fridges these days come with antibacterial lining that helps prevent growth of bacteria that can spoil food. Antibacterial fridges have an ‘Antibacterial Protection‘ built into the liners on inside of the appliance. This Antibacterial lining helps slow down the growth of potentially harmful bacteria and also help reduce odours inside the appliance. However, the antibacterial lining inside fridges is just to help retard growth of bacteria in-between cleaning sessions and is not a substitute for regular cleaning.

Antibacterial fridges have linings containing silver compounds that ensure that food stored in the fridge stays “fresh” for longer. The lining works inhibiting growth of bacteria and moulds is at temperatures below 7°C. However, the protective lining in antibacterial fridges does not stop all kinds of bacteria from multiplying nor does it apply to all germs. Some micro-organisms thrive even in the cold temperatures of a fridge. So, one must clean the antibacterial fridges just as regularly as other fridges.
