Cleaning, especially a deep one, is the most dreaded task, irrespective of what time of year it is. It is even more dreadful when it comes to the maintenance and cleaning of household appliances. Do you remember the last time you deep cleaned your large kitchen appliances? It is not just necessary for a clean, hygienic, fresh-smelling kitchen but also to make them work for longer.
Oven
Begin with cleaning the insides of your oven. Pull out the racks and remove any loose food at the bottom of the surface. Spray an artificial detergent or one made from natural ingredients in the oven.
Let the cleaner stay in the oven for a few hours but if it is filthy, then leave it for a night. Wipe it with paper towels. Finish by removing all the residues through a moist cloth. Don’t forget to clean the heating drawer.
To get rid of the oily cooking stains from the backplate and stove, use an elbow degreaser. Choose the cleaner depending on whether it’s an oven with burners or flat glass.
Refrigerator
Life without a refrigerator seems impossible in this world. So cleaning is essential to maintain hygiene.
To deeply clean the refrigerator, begin with throwing out food that has already expired. Next, remove all shelves, racks, and drawers and clean them with hot soapy water. Next, start cleaning the refrigerator from inside with a cleaner from top to bottom. Put the drawers back once they are dry.
Now, for cleaning the fridge from outside: Grab a stool to clean the upper part of the refrigerator. Next, move the fridge and vacuum the sides, front and back, to suck up the dirt completely.
Microwave
It is among the most-used electric appliances in every kitchen. But sometimes, food splatter all over the machine, making it a breeding ground for bacteria and germs, especially the exterior.
Invest in a high-quality degreaser. Scrub the area above the stove with your degreaser. Clean and sanitize the handle and exterior area with an antibacterial wipe after every use to avoid the breeding of germs.
Take some lemon slices and water in a microwave-safe bowl, and microwave it for around 3 to 5 minutes until the water boils. This will create natural de-greasing steam releasing any residue for an easy clean-up.
