Tired of buying a different cleaning product each time you need to clean one of your home appliances?  You’re in luck, there are many ways to maintain your appliances using regular household products.  Save a trip to the store and Go Green with your appliance maintenance and cleaning.

Instead of recycling a used lemon wedge in compost, you can upcycle it for a fresh and natural cleaner to make your kitchen sparkle.

  •  Refrigerator Maintenance Eliminate odors by pouring vanilla extract into a bowl and wipe down refrigerator walls with a paper towel.
  • Refrigerator Coils – Clean condenser coils located behind the fridge with a brush or handheld vacuum to remove dirt, dust and pet hair.
  • Garbage Disposal Cooling – Place a handful of ice cubes and citrus peels in garbage disposal, turn on cold water and then the disposal for 15-30 seconds. After turning off disposal continue to rinse with hot water for 15 more seconds.
  • Dishwasher Maintenance –  Remove stuck-on food residue by running an empty dishwasher with a cup of white vinegar.
  • Microwave Cleaning – Wipe interior microwave surfaces with a mixture of two tablespoons baking soda and one quart water to remove food stains.
  • Keep Your Appliances White – Use a sponge with a mixture of ½ cup bleach, ¼ cup baking soda and four cups warm water to avoid yellowing of white appliances. Let it set for 10 minutes before rinsing and drying.
