Nothing can make your kitchen mesmerizing and beautiful than having clean kitchen appliances decorated on the shelf. The clean kitchen of your dream isn’t far more than reading these tips & tricks to clean the appliances for the next use. You might be thinking to arrange a complete kitchen remodel, but the core beauty of the kitchen is its clean appliances. Follow this article and learn about the best ways to clean kitchen appliances i. e. refrigerator, dishwasher, coffee maker, etc.
Coffee Maker
Waste any grounds and old coffee into the water and fill the water reservoir with some white vinegar and hot water. White vinegar and water will help the build-up substances to loosen up a bit. Now run the coffee maker just like you do when making a coffee. When the first cycle completes, again pour the hot water and vinegar into the reservoir and run it again.
After the second cycle completes, wash the reservoir with hot, soapy water to clean any coffee stains. You can also use an old toothbrush for better cleaning. Now fill cold, clean water in the reservoir and repeat another cycle. Dry the coffee maker with a lint-free cloth.
Refrigerator
The refrigerator can be the dirtiest appliance in your kitchen. The very first step is to unplug the refrigerator and pull it out – as it is most likely adjusted against the wall. Now use a vacuum to clean the coils behind and underneath the fridge. Make sure not to put more pressure on the motor.
Now mix one cup of plain water and one cup of vinegar and clean both inside and outside of the refrigerator. Take out the trays and use a dampened cloth with soapy water to clean them. In the end, clean the trays with plain water and adjust them in the refrigerator.
Dishwasher
Though a dishwasher is used to clean the dishes, it doesn’t mean it doesn’t get dirty. Fill white vinegar in the dishwasher safe cup and put it at the top rack of the empty dishwasher. Turn on the dishwasher at a high temperature and set it at the longest cycle. It will loosen the soap and food scum. In the end, rinse well with plain after.
Stand Mixer, Blender, and Food Processor
Stand mixer, blender, and good processor are the easiest to clean because most of the cleaning is done by their own mechanism. After every use, simply put a cup of clean water in the jug, add a few drops of dishwashing liquid and whirl the blender, food processor, or stand mixer for a few seconds. In the end, disassemble the blades and rinse well in hot water.
Toaster Oven or Toaster
The very first to clean any electronic kitchen appliance is to unplug it – including a toaster oven and toaster. In the case of a toaster, shake it over the slab to get rid of any food crumbs. Dry it thoroughly and you’re done.
When it comes to the toaster oven, take out the racks and put them in soapy water for a while. Use a wet cloth with soapy water to clean the internal part of the toaster oven and a wet pastry brush to clean the narrow slots of any burned food particles.
You can also remove the knobs of the toaster oven and clean them with a soapy wet cloth. In the end, wash the racks with hot water, dry them, and place them back in the oven.
Final Verdict
In a nutshell, cleaning your kitchen appliances after every few weeks will not only increase their lifespan, but will also enhance your kitchen space. And if you’re neglecting the dirt on these appliances, even remodeling the whole kitchen won’t make much difference.
