I normally lift the refrigerator with one of my arms while using one of those compressed air cans to blow the dust off the coils underneath.

You need an entire arm to lift a refrigerator??

edit: in all honesty, I need both hands to left my fridge. but that's possible because it's a small dorm fridge :)

i have to do mine every week or so. it is free standing, so it is not really a problem. the stove... which i also have to do weekly is a pita because there are cabinets on either side of it.

but i have a bunch of cats and .. well, i have this thing about cat hair anyplace where food is. but more important than the hair is the 'play items'. I will .. swear to God... sweep out at least 2 dozen little furry mice toys and a bunch of dried food. they play... they scoot stuff across the tile floor and if it gets under or behind the fridge/stove, they cannot reach it.

so, i have to do these things weekly.

You're supposed to clean under and behind it?

At the moment I'd be afraid of what I would find. lol
