Smart homeowners [[in CITY]] keep the following kitchen appliances in top shape with proper use and care.

 A refrigerator left unused builds up a musty odor and may even grow mold. Keep it plugged in and wipe the interior frequently.Clearing the drain hole prevents blockage that could cause your fridge to drip.

 Turn the disposal onoften to break up food particles. Avoid putting fibrous items like cornhusks down the disposal, as these often cause clogs.Run cold water while in operation and for 20 seconds afterwards.

Regularstovetop and oven cleaning is essential. Otherwise, spills bake on and become harder to remove; they’ll also produce a burnt smell whenever you cook or bake (which might trigger your smoke alarm!). Protect burner drip pans with foil inserts.Always use the cleaning cycle for a self-cleaning oven; scrubbing may damage the finish. If your oven is not self-cleaning, however, scrubbing is the best option.

Use the hood to collect grease and remove odors while cooking. Change or wash the filter every 1-3 months according to the instructions for your particular model.

Your microwave is the easiest kitchen appliance to clean. Heat a microwave-safe cup full of water and a chunk of lemon for 3 minutes on high. Leave an additional 3 minutes. Steam from the lemony water will loosen grime on the appliance’s interior – just wipe off with a soft cloth.
