Appliance Tips

To help get the most from your appliances, here are some tips to improve the performance of some of the most common household appliances.

• Washing machines – do a hot water cycle regularly to help dissolve detergent build ups.
  
• Dishwashers – clean the basket filters and the holes in the spray arms every few months and have the dishwasher fully serviced every two years to remove germs and grease.
  
• Fridges and freezers – ensure that there is adequate ventilation behind your fridge and freezer. This will improve performance and conserve electricity.
  
• Ovens and stoves – clean the oven and stove regularly to remove food spills and grease.
  
• Clothes dryers – clean the lint filter before every load of clothes to be dried.  Also service your dryer yearly to remove the fluff build up inside.

Always make sure that the professional is licensed and insured.
