Here are some tips to keep your appliances in their best condition

Washing Machine

  • Use low-sudsing detergents for high-efficiency top-loaders and front-loading washers.

  • Use low-sudsing detergents for high-efficiency top-loaders and front-loading washers.
  • Wash the washer with a solution of equal parts of vinegar and water. Using a detergent or vinegar, you can also run a hot-wash load with the empty washer to keep the interior clean.
  • Avoid putting too much detergent, as it can leave residues on your laundry and the interior machine, which may lead to problems.

Dishwasher

  • Regularly clean the filter.

Stove & Oven

  • Clean the oven regularly to remove any food debris or spills, as this can help prevent fires and improve the efficiency of the oven.
  • Keep the stove and oven vents clear of obstructions to ensure proper ventilation and prevent overheating.
