I had to clean a refrigerator with food in it, and the elec. off. Major mold. Tilex worked. Is refridge OK?
Answers:
i know this sounds gross but i used to do remodels and maintenance for a big rental company. Ive seen fridges that were so nasty they'd gag the roto rooter man...i mean they had stuff crawling around in them, and the cleaning lady would just scrub them down with bleach and they would be ok......the only ones that didn't make it were the ones that had alot of "bugs" in the blower fan and evaporator coil.....i suppose that i could have took them apart and cleaned them too but ICK

Your refrigerator should be safe, it's not like your going to lick the inside of it or anything. If your mold does come back, I suggest using bleach on the mold (of course, you may need a mask, gloves, and maybe goggles) then you let your fridge air dry.

NO-- it is not safe,, tilex is not a sanitary cleanser so bacteria and germs plus the tilex chemicals are still there,, geez don't you watch the tele?? use the sanitary products it advertises before putting any food in!! You don't have to lick the sides for food to come in contact with the germs etc,,,,
If you are worried about the tilex, just wipe the inside out with a bleach/water solution. That will kill anything the tilex missed. The tilex should have done a good job as it is designed to get rid of mold and mildew in the bathroom. Keep up with the baking soda. Good luck.
Just like in a microwave, no chemicals should be used. If you're worried about putting things in the fridge now, take a clean sponge very damp with water and dip it into soda then wipe out the fridge again. That might cut the chemical flavor that can seep into your food and the box of soda is always a plus.
