Home appliances are sometimes forgotten about when it comes to cleaning. However, a cleaning service will make sure to take care of these items when providing their services. Here’s a helpful guide to understanding what items you should be cleaning regularly. 

5 Home Appliances & How to Clean Them 

1. Sinks 

You use your sink everyday. However, washing dishes with soap doesn’t clean out the sink basin. Additionally, your disposal will stink if not properly cleaned. You should clean your sink and the garbage disposal once a week. A cleaning service can do a more thorough job with cleaning this spot.

2. Stove 

Spills and splatter marks can accumulate on the stove. These leftovers can create a breeding ground for microbes and should be cleaned off after each use. However, if your stove has metal gas burners, they should be soaked and cleaned monthly. Your oven will need to be cleaned roughly four times per year. Schedule a cleaning service to ensure that the oven gets some attention while your home is being cleaned. 

3. Microwave or Toaster Oven 

Your microwave can also fill with splatter marks from food spills over time. Items like tomato sauce tend to cause a big mess on the walls of the unit. These splatter marks can become dried and difficult to remove. To prevent an even bigger mess, they should be cleaned weekly. A toaster oven can also become grimy with normal use. The inside should also be cleaned once a week. 

4. Refrigerators 

Cleaning out your refrigerator is a big job. Leftovers and condiments can stain the drawers and shelves of the unit, and bacteria like listeria can thrive. Additionally, it can begin to smell each time it’s opened. Wipe down the cabinets each week and clean the entire unit out each month.

5. Washing Machines and Dryers 

A washing machine doesn’t seem like it would need to be cleaned. Unfortunately, bacteria can grow in both the washer and dryer. Both units should be cleaned each week to avoid the growth of bacteria like E. coli.
