Small Appliances Care and Maintenance
Throughout this month, we have been talking about small appliances care and maintenance. Today, we will wrap it up for you.
Cleaning Small Appliances
Like major kitchen appliances, small appliances can also be investments that endure, as long as they are properly cleaned and maintained.
Small Appliance Maintenance Tips
- Read The Manual
- Unplug and cool appliances before cleaning.
- If you use a spray cleaner, do not spray directly onto appliances.
- Never immerse electrical components.
- Avoid moisture to come in contact with electrical parts.
Start with Mild Cleaning
Start with the mildest form of cleaning possible before moving to tougher cleaning methods, if necessary. For most small appliances, warm water and mild dish soap is enough to clean even the biggest messes. Microfiber cleaning cloths or sponges are excellent at removing dirt and grease. Harsher cleaners can damage the finish or even cause damage to the working parts of your small appliances.
Check Electrical Cords
Always check electrical cords for damage, as they can lead to electrocution and even more severe accidents. We recommend wiping down electrical cables when you clean the appliance to prevent dirt and grease accumulation. Inspect and make sure the cords do not have any damage.
Cleaning Solutions
You can accomplish a great deal with hot, soapy water and elbow grease, utilizing vinegar or a baking soda paste or any natural solution and, of course, a dish detergent with grease-cutting ingredients. Do not use harsh abrasives or steel wool. Use synthetic scrubbers or non-scratch sponges for cleaning kitchen appliances.
Baking soda, vinegar, soapy water, and a little elbow grease is all you need!
