Have you ever thought that cleaning appliances was a waste of time? Many people find that their household appliances take a backseat when it comes to cleaning. The truth is that home appliances should be at the top of your list of items to clean. What many people don’t realize is that there is a clear link between having clean appliances and your health.
What can you expect with regular maintenance of your appliances?
Rid Your Home of Mould By Cleaning Appliances
Whether we’re talking about your washing machines or your refrigerator, you can eliminate the detrimental effects of mould with regular maintenance. Mould has some serious health risks, and homeowners often find that it isn’t contained solely in their appliances.
Often, the spores ultimately transfer to other surfaces from their household appliances.
This reduces your indoor air quality and makes you more likely to suffer the health risks of mould, such as respiratory issues or asthmatic responses.
Bacteria and Viruses (Even on Oven Door Glass)
Food residue can have a profound impact on the health of your family and your appliance efficiency. Even if you have a self-cleaning feature on your appliances (including self-cleaning ovens), you likely should invest some time in wiping them down with an antibacterial cleaner.
Especially if you keep your home warm, bacteria tend to breed in these warm, moist environments. Use baking soda or other proven cleaning products to get your home up to your standards.
Bacteria and viruses can build up, and they can cause more than just costly repairs. They damage energy efficiency and can cause you to get sick more easily. When your family’s health seems to be taking a turn for the worse, you might consider sterilizing your appliances.
Improved Indoor Air Quality
Do you feel like the air inside your home is stale and uninviting? Save money on expensive air purifiers and do what you can by cleaning your appliances. When the heating elements in your oven are clean, the refrigerator coils are wiped down, and there are no dirty dishes in the dishwashers, you will likely find that you can breathe a little easier.
Not to mention, these simple tips result in improved energy efficiency, a longer appliance lifespan, and fewer appliance repairs. Both you and your appliances will be healthier for regular cleaning and routine wiping down of your appliances.
