Remove food: Empty the freezer and place the food in a cooler or refrigerator to keep it cold.
Protect the floor: Place towels or absorbent cloths around the freezer to catch any water that will melt.
Hot water method: Fill heatproof containers with hot water and place in the freezer. Close the freezer door and let sit for 15 to 20 minutes. The heat from the water will help melt the ice faster.
Use a plastic spatula: Use a plastic spatula carefully to remove melted ice. Avoid using metal tools, as they can damage the freezer walls.
Remove melted water: As the ice melts, use the towels to collect and remove the water.
Speed up the process with a fan (optional): If you want to speed up the process, place a fan in front of the open freezer to help melt the ice faster.
Additional cleaning (optional): Spray a mixture of water and vinegar on the freezer walls and wipe them with a cloth to disinfect and prevent future ice buildup.
