Clean Your Appliances With an Earth-Friendly Attitude

June 17th, 2016

As you walk down the aisle in nearly any grocery store, you’re greeted by high-priced cleaners that have every chemical mixture possible. Although these chemical combinations are effective, they’re not necessarily good for the Earth. Take a close look at some of the ways that you can clean those appliances without relying on chemicals. The Earth and your health will thank you in the end.

Open the Refrigerator’s Door

You may place a baking-soda container in your refrigerator so that odors are neutralized, but it doesn’t scrub the interior walls for you. Grab a spray bottle, and add an equal amount of water and vinegar to it. Shake up the mixture and scrub. Vinegar is very acidic, and it kills off germs and fungus with a very low concentration.

Summertime and Your Appliance’s Upkeep

May 17th, 2016

Your heater made it through the winter, and now you’re looking forward to warm days and relaxing afternoons without any appliance problems. Although summer is a time for vacationing and playtime, you shouldn’t overlook your appliances’ care either. In fact, it’s a good time to contact a Milwaukee refrigerator repair professional for their evaluation of your appliances. Put your appliances’ maintenance schedules ahead of everything else in order to avoid any costly repairs.

Clean Your Appliance Now

You may have vacuumed the house during spring cleaning, but your appliances aren’t always part of that project. Before the summer heat really kicks in, completely clean out the refrigerator’s interior. Make a mental note of any unusual stains or broken pieces. Pull the refrigerator out from the wall too. Wipe off the coils that reside across the appliance’s backside. These coils help the refrigerator remain cool on the inside by transferring heat to the exterior. If the coils remain dirty, they’ll overheat and possibly cause a cooling malfunction in the appliance. (more…)

Home Appliances Coming Our Way … Eventually

April 8th, 2015

In 1950, General Electric predicted that the 21st century kitchen would have a thermoelectric collapsible refrigerator, an ice and water dispenser, and an automatic plastic dishmaker. For those counting, that’s one out of three successes.

In 2013, General Electric peered yet again into its crystal ball. The home of 2025 would have automatic kitchen composting, smart water sensors, induction cooking kitchen island surfaces, minimal dishwasher repair and so forth. But with apologies to General Electric, their anticipated technology for 2025 is already here. (more…)
