Oven
A greasy, dirty oven is not only bad
for the taste of food and the efficiency
of your appliance, it’s a dangerous
fire hazard. If you’re noticing a waft of
smoke drifting out when you open the
oven door, it’s time to give it a deep
clean. Depending on the level of work
required, a baking soda and vinegar
paste left overnight can be effective
for loosening baked-on residue. But if

Dishwasher
Like the oven, a dishwasher needs
a deep clean to operate to its full
potential. Remove the bottom filter
and run it under hot water, scrubbing
with a plastic brush to clear any food
remnants. Then, remove any gunk from
around the drain area and door seal,
and give other internal parts a scrub
with hot, soapy water. Replace the filter,
then pop in a cup of white vinegar for
a cycle to remove any grease buildup. Follow with a cycle using baking
soda to rid the machine of odours.
(Always check your manual first.)

Television
Sticky fingers, dust and pet hair
stuck to the screen and surrounds
mean the TV also deserves some
good housekeeping for optimum
viewing. Screens are delicate, so use
a microfibre cloth or electrostatic
duster for dust removal. Be sure to
turn the TV off first and don’t forget
the remote controls – wipe these
down with a disinfectant cloth.
