No.

Unfortunately, the notion that bleach kills mold is a myth. In essence, it removes stains, not the mold because it does not have any effect on destroying the roots of mold spores. Furthermore, there is some argument that bleach worsens the problem because it tends to make surfaces more porous due to its abrasive nature.

To effectively remove the mold in your fridge, we suggest a natural mold remover. Benefect is a company who's disinfectant we use at www.drymeout.com on our huge mold remediation jobs but they also offer products for consumers www.benefect.com. Alternatively, you could try white vinegar or tea tree oil. White vinegar has been proven to kill 82% of all mold species while Tea Tree Oil has a higher fungicide and has been shown to kill all mold species.

It is important to keep yourself safe during all mold removal procedures. Please wear a mask, long cleaning gloves and obtain the maximum ventilation possible in your work area. Always completely dispose of all materials used in a mold removal procedure.
