Surface cleaning is essential to maintaining the fresh clean appearance of your home as well as healthy living. The same should be said of those interior items, especially your appliances. The spotlight today will be shined on your kitchen appliances. Nadia’s House Cleaning will share the best methods on how to properly clean your refrigerator, oven, and dishwasher so they will not just look clean but will reduce the amount of contaminants that could affect your food, dishes and cooking equipment.
 

How to Clean a Refrigerator with Baking Soda

Cleaning your refrigerator can be a major pain that no one wants to do. However with these few steps, you can easily clean your refrigerator and reduce the amount of contaminants that may be lurking inside.
Step 1. Remove all food that may have expired or has gone bad and throw it away. Remove everything else out of the refrigerator.
Step 2. You will want to clean and sanitize the inside and the shelving of the refrigerator. Take out all removable shelve and drawers. Scrub them with warm soapy water. Liquid dish soap kills bacteria and cleans well. For super stubborn spots, use a little baking soda along with the soapy water. You can also use the soapy water and baking soda if necessary on the interior of the refrigerator as well.
Step 3. Give your refrigerator a fresh clean smell. Take a spray bottle filled with water and a few drops of vanilla extract. Spray the refrigerator and wipe it down to give it an authentic vanilla scent.
Step 4. You can now refill your refrigerator of its contents.
Step 5. We encourage you to clean the coils behind the refrigerator as well, to improve efficiency. Do this by vacuuming the outside of the coils and wipe down the grille with a dryer sheet.
 

How to Clean an Oven Range Quickly

Your oven often gets spilled food and other cooking materials left behind. This can change the taste of your food and some of it can eventually contaminate your food. To prevent this, here are some simple steps to clean your range ovens.
Step 1. Most modern ovens come with a self clean mode. Run the self clean mode as directed by the manufacturer. This is where most people stop. However there is more to cleaning your oven then just this.
Step 2. Often after the self cleaning has completed its cycle, it will leave behind some debris on the bottom. After the oven has cooled down, vacuum up the debris.
OR:
Step 1. If your oven doesn’t come with a self cleaning mode, you can wipe down the interior with a damp cloth. For stubborn food that may be caked on, use a few drops of lemon juice with the water while wiping it down. Set your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and let everything set for one hour.
Step 2. Once again allow it to cool down and vacuum up any of the debris that may be left on the bottom.
Step 3. The stove top can be cleaned with liquid dish soap and baking soda
 

How to Clean a Dishwasher Without Vinegar

Cleaning your dishwasher is more important than most people realize. It is not self cleaning like most people assume. Of course it’s also one of those appliances that don’t require a lot of cleaning either. When the time does come, here are a few simple steps.
Step 1. Mix together 2 tablespoons of baking soda with about 2 cups of water and microwave the solution for 2 minutes to heat it up. Use a spray bottle to disperse the solution.
Step 2. Put vinegar into the dispenser and run a cycle with the highest heat possible. This will help break down the water build up, and break down the other contents inside the washing machine.
