During this time of year, kitchens see a lot of action. Whether you’re cooking for a few or an entire crew, many appliances get used, but how many get properly cleaned? Here are a few kitchen appliance cleaning tips to help ensure the room and tools gets the care and attention it deserves during this hectic season.

Kitchen Appliance Cleaning Tips

Out of all the appliances in your kitchen, how many do you clean on a regular basis? Some may get overlooked, especially if it does the cleaning. However, with a little love, these appliances get the attention they deserve and reward you by working more efficiently. Here are a few appliances you shouldn’t ignore:

1. Deep fryer. Grease can build up in cracks and crevices throughout the device. Even if it’s an air fryer and less oil is needed, these appliances should be cleaned after every use.
2. Coffee maker. Mineral deposits build up from regular use between filling reservoirs with water and creating steam.
3. Dishwasher. Yes, even though these appliances do the cleaning, they should also be cleaned every now and then. Pay close attention to the filter, seal, and latches. Left unchecked, these areas can get dirty and affect the way the dishwasher works.
4. Toaster. Crumbs accumulate no matter which type of toaster you use. And if you use it as an oven, other baked-on messes can build up.
5. Oven. While most models have a self-clean function, you should also regularly check the level of build-up on the racks and heating elements.
6. Microwave. Check the top and sides. Splatters happen.
7. Garbage disposal. In order to help it do its job, the blades should be sharpened and area disinfected from time to time.
8. Trash can. While liners are supposed to collect most of the mess, wiping out the container and adding a deodorizer goes a long way.

Many of these appliances come with care instructions you can follow for proper care. Sometimes it’s as easy as a regular wipe down with household items such as white vinegar, baking soda, and natural citrus from lemons. However, tougher stains and larger appliances need more attention.
