🗓️ 1. Stick to a Seasonal Appliance Maintenance Schedule

✅ Tip: Check your appliance maintenance once every 3 months. A good rule of thumb is to clean appliances at the start of every season (Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter).

🔧 Fridge coils: Vacuum dust buildup to prevent overheating.
🧺 Washer gasket: Wipe rubber seals to prevent mold.
🍳 Oven: Run a self-clean cycle before heavy holiday use.

❄️ 2. Deep-Clean Your Fridge & Freezer (Every 3-4 Months)

Toss expired items weekly.
Unplug and wipe shelves with a mix of warm water + baking soda.
Clean condenser coils with a coil brush or vacuum.

👉 This prevents smells, extends compressor life, and helps your fridge run efficiently.

🌀 3. Don’t Forget the Dryer Vent

✅ Tip:

Clean the lint trap after every load.
Every 6 months, disconnect the dryer and vacuum out the vent hose to reduce fire risk and improve drying time.

🔥 Bonus: A clogged vent makes the dryer work harder and increases energy bills!

🧽 4. Dishwasher Filter Cleaning

✅ Tip: Once a month, remove and rinse the dishwasher filter (usually under the bottom spray arm).

Use vinegar and baking soda to clean the interior and fight odor.
Don’t forget the spray arms—poke out trapped food particles.

🧊 5. Ice Maker & Water Line Maintenance

✅ Tip:

Replace water filters every 6 months.
Clean the ice bin regularly with warm water and vinegar to avoid mold and odor.
Run a cleaning cycle if your model supports it (especially on built-in ice machines or fridges with water dispensers).
