Let's face it, cleaning appliances is not fun. It's one of those necessary household tasks, but it doesn't have to be a nightmare. With the right cleaning solutions and a little elbow grease, you can get your appliances clean in no time. Here are the best appliance cleaning solutions for the busy homeowner.
Cleaning the Stovetop and Oven
The first step is to remove all of the burner grates and drip pans. These can be soaked in hot, soapy water while you tackle the rest of the stovetop. For a natural cleaning solution, mix equal parts baking soda and water to form a paste. Spread the paste over the entire stovetop and let it sit for 15 minutes. Then, use a damp sponge or cloth to wipe away the paste. If you have stubborn stains, you can use a scrub brush to remove them. Finally, rinse the area with clean water and dry with a soft cloth.
You can repeat this cleaning solution for your oven! Mix your baking soda and water together and spread the paste over the inside of the oven. You will want to let this mixture sit for quite a while before wiping away. Try an hour or so. If you have tough stains, you can use a scrub brush to remove them, and use a wet cloth to wipe and dry.
Cleaning Stainless Steel Appliances
Stainless steel appliances are notorious for showing fingerprints and smudges. But there's an easy way to clean them without any harsh chemicals. All you need is some distilled vinegar and a microfiber cloth. Dip your microfiber cloth in vinegar and then use it to wipe down your stainless steel appliances. The vinegar will cut through any grease or grime and leave your appliances shining like new!
Cleaning the Microwave
Cleaning those stubborn food stains off the inside of your microwave can feel like a huge task, but if you mix water and vinegar in a heatproof bowl and microwave it for 5 minutes, most of the hard work will be done for you! Remove the bowl from the microwave (be careful, because it will be HOT), and wipe down the surface with a damp cloth. Your microwave will look clean and fresh in no time.
