Get tips from XTREME Appliances in cleaning and maintaining your appliances while you’re staying at home! Now that we have the time, might as well get those appliances sparkly clean like new?
We should always keep our appliances clean and reliable as the items we use very often. Moreover, COVID- 19 stays stabler in plastic and steel according to a study published in March 2020. As appliances are most commonly made of plastic and steel, it’s better not to compromise!
1. Remember to wipe off the dust from TV and sanitize your remote
Regularly wipe off surfaces where you stay the most at home. Dust is a common allergen that can easily be swept away by regular cleaning. Don’t forget to dust your TV often too! Before cleaning, turn your TV off, let it cool down and unplug. Carefully wipe a slightly damped microfiber cloth or soft cloth starting with the edges before moving onwards to the screen.
Your remote control gets passed out often so take the time to clean it as well. Clean the surface and buttons using alcohol-based wipes or a cloth damped in at least 70% isopropyl alcohol. Inside, remove the battery, face it upside down, and tap the remote against your palm stuck debris can fall.
2. Avoid air conditioner filters to get clogged and dirty
Take care of your air conditioner especially summer’s approaching! Maintaining a clean air conditioner is imperative to save on costs in repair, electricity, and even in health. Don’t skip out on cleaning your air conditioner and if you’re not confident, have a professional do it regularly based on your usage.
If you’re doing it on your own, follow XTREME’s steps on how to do it: Begin by removing the frame, remove dust and dirt from the cooling fins using a fin comb, remove noticeable build-ups or debris by vacuum, let dry and then assemble back.
XTREME Reminder: Don’t use your air conditioner 24/7 to not overwork it! Overworking it will damage your conditioner’s compressor and condenser.
3. Always clean your food storage also known as “refrigerator”
Your fridge holds most of your food you intake! It’s extremely imperative it’s kept spotless clean all the time. Fresh food always keeps the doctor away. Thus, a clean refrigerator will also keep molds, bugs, and food-borne illnesses away!
Regularly inspect products kept in the fridge. Throw out expired consumables and keep the remainder in safe stock. Before cleaning, extract all food from the refrigerator, empty shelves and drawers, then wash them with dish soap.
Wipe the interior, but avoid using strong-scented soap since you don’t want fragrance sticking to food. Use a combination of baking soda and vinegar as an alternative to soap to avoid the stains. Dry off with a cool, dry cloth before putting it back on the racks.
Before storing them in your refrigerator, wash fresh food always. Use fluffy fabric and dishwashing soap combined with water to scrub the exteriors. Then wipe the excess soap off by using a damp cloth.
XTREME tip: Eliminate foul odor and maintain the fresh smell by keeping activated charcoal or open baking soda inside your fridge.
