Tips on how to clean your household appliances.

1. Microwave: Place a bowl of water with lemon slices inside and heat it for a few minutes to steam clean the interior. Wipe down the walls and door with a damp cloth afterward.
2. Oven: Make a paste of baking soda and water, apply it to the interior surfaces, and let it sit overnight. Scrub the next day and wipe clean for a sparkling oven.
3. Refrigerator: Remove all food items, shelves, and drawers. Clean them with a mixture of warm water and mild soap. Wipe down the interior of the fridge with the same solution, paying attention to spills and stains.
4. Dishwasher: Run a cycle with a cup of vinegar placed on the top rack to remove buildup and odors. Wipe down the edges and door seal with a damp cloth.
5. Washing Machine: Run an empty cycle with hot water and a cup of vinegar to clean the drum and remove soap residue. Wipe down the exterior and door seal afterward.
6. Coffee Maker: Fill the reservoir with equal parts water and vinegar, run a cycle, then rinse with plain water. Clean the exterior with a damp cloth.
7. Toaster: Unplug the toaster and remove the crumb tray. Wipe down the exterior with a cloth dampened with soapy water. Use a small brush to clean inside the slots.
8. Blender: Disassemble the blender and wash the removable parts with warm, soapy water. Wipe the base with a damp cloth and avoid submerging it in water.
9. Air Fryer: Clean the basket and tray with hot, soapy water or in the dishwasher if they’re dishwasher-safe. Wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth.
10. Steam Iron: Fill the reservoir with equal parts water and vinegar, then run the iron on steam mode over an old cloth to clean out mineral deposits. Wipe the soleplate with a damp cloth.

These tips should help keep your household appliances clean and in good working condition.
