Dryer. You must clean lint filter after every load, it would save the unit from wear and tear, but it also reduces the chance of fire. Dryers with too much in the lint screen are in danger of fire from static electricity. To prolong the life of your dryer, clean the lint screen after every use.

Washer. Most people are overloaded their washing machine with clothing but doing so can damage it over the time. Just try to match the water level with the clothes level. This will ease the strain on your washer and make your laundry come out cleaner. It will help you save money on water and energy bill and avoid a costly repair in the long run. If you need any washer repairs.

Refrigerator. The refrigerator’s compressor coils need to be cleaned regularly. When the coil gets too grimy or dusty, its efficiency is reduced, and fridge works harder. It can lead to wear and tear, and runs up your utility bill as well as it increases the chance of compressor failure. To keep it running colder and more efficiently, clean the compressor coils once a year or you can use appliance repair company.

Dishwasher. Follow the few steps that would save you money and avoid costly repairs. Wash full loads, but don’t overfill, it will prevent your dishes from being cleaned properly, requiring another cycle in the dishwasher, increasing its wear and tear. For best results, clean your dishwasher’s filter once a year or if you notice your dishes not coming out as clean as they should. A solution of vinegar and salt is an effective, eco-friendly way to remove odors and residue buildup.

Microwave. The dirtier your microwave is, the harder it is for it to heat up your food. Clean your microwave regularly, especially if food has splashed on the walls, ceiling or floor of the microwave. We recommend to use the cover plate to avoid any extra cleaning, it is only cost a few bucks but it would save your time and money in the long run.

Garbage Disposal. To keep your appliance clean and smelling nice, throw the now-squishy lemon wedges into your garbage disposal as a deodorant and flush with plenty of water. Also you can run water with a few cubes of ice through garbage disposal it would clean the disposal and remove any debris.
