Yes. The goal is the same, but the risks and technique differ:
Freezers: Watch for ice build-up and avoid scraping with sharp tools. Defrost and clean when stock is low, protect the floor from meltwater, and dry completely before restarting. Keep cleaning water minimal to prevent refreezing into ice.
Fridges: Focus on spills, odours, and cross-contamination. Remove and sanitise shelves and door bins more often, and keep raw and ready-to-eat foods separated.
Both need routine attention to door seals, handles, and ventilation/grilles. Poor cleaning in either unit can lead to temperature instability, higher running costs, and avoidable food waste.
