Clean a fridge???
What's the best way to clean a fridge, and what kind of cleaning products do you need?
Every article I see says to unplug it first and then take out shelves.
I live in an apartment and the plug is not within reach because the fridge is right by the next appliance. Also, the shelves do not come out.
Thank you!

I understand the part of not being able to unplug and have been in same situation so I just clean with it still plugged in.
Mostly fridge shelves are made to be stable and are tight fits but should be adjustable to heights needed. It may be that they need to be forced a little to pop out of their holdings. The bottom drawers and the shelves they hang from also should be removeable. Just get down close and study it. You may see exactly how to angle it to remove or see an obstruction.
Once I could not remove a bottom drawer when cleaning a clients house and it was because the setting was too cold and ice had formed on the tracks so the ice had to be chipped away carefully as they had no hair dryer to melt it with.
I dont like to use chemicals for cleaning where food will be stored. So look up how to use natural cleaning products on line and the amounts to use. Vinegar, lemon juice and baking soda will go a long way to cleaning tough dirty jobs. They are inexpensive. Just buy an empty sprayer bottle to put a water vinegar mix in and spray it liberally on any stuck on food drips in fridge and let it sit to help soften it up. Use the scratchy teflon pads plus baking soda to get it sparkly clean. And the vinegar smell will dissapate in time.

My mom takes everything out and wipes down the shelves with disinfectant. Just throw away the products with actual mold on it. You have to move the fridge so that the plug becomes accessible.
