Save Money & Extend Appliance Lifespan with Simple Maintenance

• Clean Condenser Coils
  Dirty coils make your fridge work harder, wasting energy and shortening its life. Unplug the fridge, find the coils (typically at the back or bottom), and gently brush away dust with a vacuum attachment or coil brush.
• Defrost the Freezer Carefully
  Thick ice buildup strains your freezer. To defrost, unplug, empty the contents, and let warm water bowls speed up the melting. Avoid using sharp objects, as they can damage the walls.
• Organize Your Fridge for Efficiency
  A tidy fridge saves energy! Use clear containers for leftovers, place frequently used items at eye level, and group similar foods. This keeps items accessible, so the door stays closed longer, keeping things cool.

Oven & Stove Maintenance

• Clean the Oven Without Harsh Chemicals
  Skip the toxic cleaners. A paste of baking soda and water works wonders. Apply, let it sit overnight, and wipe away with a damp cloth. For stubborn spots, add a vinegar spray.
• Inspect Burners and Light Bulbs
  Damaged burners affect cooking efficiency. Clean food debris from burners with a toothbrush or compressed air, and replace burnt-out light bulbs for better visibility without needing to open the door.

Dishwasher Maintenance

• Clean Spray Arms and Filters
  Food buildup in dishwashers reduces performance. Place a cup of vinegar on the top rack and run a hot cycle monthly to dissolve grease. Wipe the door seal and check spray arms for clogs.

Washing Machine & Dryer Maintenance

• Clean Lint Traps and Vents
  Removing lint after each dryer cycle isn’t just about efficiency—it’s a fire safety measure. Use a soft brush to clean the trap and vacuum ducts leading outside.
• Prevent Mold in Washing Machines
  Keep the washing machine door open after each use to let moisture escape. Run an occasional hot cycle with vinegar to keep it fresh and mold-free.

Small Appliance Care

Small appliances like toasters and coffee makers need care too! Regular cleaning prevents breakdowns and prolongs their life.

• Toasters
  Shake out crumbs to prevent fire hazards, then wipe down the exterior. For hard-to-reach crumbs, use a brush.
• Coffee Makers
  Descale every few months with vinegar to remove mineral buildup. This keeps your coffee tasting fresh and helps the machine run better.
