Deep clean appliances

Spring cleaning will not be complete without deep cleaning the appliances. Basic cleaning of ovens, refrigerators, microwave, dishwashers, and stovetops are regular parts of housekeeping routines. Follow the instruction manuals to see if there are special cleaning instructions. Then proceed as needed. For ovens and dishwashers, you may use vinegar diluted in water. Microwave a cup of diluted white vinegar on high for three minutes, let it stay until steam is gone. Wipe the inside of the oven with a paper towel. With the dishwasher, fill a cup of vinegar, place it in the dishwasher, then turn it on a heavy cycle mode.  Wipe the insides after the cycle process is completed.
