Love Your Kitchen

Give Your Oven Some Lovin’

• Don’t run the self-cleaning cycle within one week of a big dinner - ovens have a tendency to fail during or right after a self-cleaning cycle.
• Clean the reflector bowls under the burners to help cook more efficiently.

XOXO For Your Dishwasher

• If you’re unsure whether or not an item is dishwasher safe, just wash it by hand.
• Run an empty dishwasher with a cup of white vinegar to eliminate odors and buildup.

Keep Your Garbage Disposal Smelling Like Roses

• Place a handful of ice cubes in the disposal. Add lemon, orange or lime peels and run disposal with cold water for 15 to 30 seconds. Continue to rinse with cold water.
• To avoid clogging your garburator, remember to not pour grease down the drain.

Rekindle Your Refrigerator

• Unplug your refrigerator and use a vacuum to remove any dust from the coils. This will help it run more efficiently and trim your utility bills.
• Make sure it’s loaded properly. Contents should be evenly distributed.
