How to extend the life of household appliances

Household appliances should and can serve for a long time if the consumer correctly uses them. Few before the first application reads the instruction manual, but it should be. So, how should we treat the most indispensable devices in our life?

1. Refrigerator

To ensure that the refrigerator served you faithfully at least officially declared for 10 years, do not install it near the stove. This is primarily a gas stove, the walls of which are very hot and cause overheating of the refrigerator. If the layout does not allow you to arrange these devices, then isolate them among themselves with a heat-resistant partition.

1. Washing machine

This device, which is indispensable for any hostess, is not harmed by the notorious scum, but overloads! If you managed to shove a blanket or blanket into the drum of the machine and you are too pleased with it - in vain. Firstly, it does not extend well, and secondly, you do irreparable harm to the "dumb". Several of these washings and you have to buy a new machine or wash with your hands.

1. Dishwasher

The dishwasher must be washed at least once every 2 weeks. Pour 2 cups of table vinegar into the detergent compartment and start the empty machine in heating mode.

1. Vacuum cleaner

Shake bags / dust containers more often, and rinse filters. Even if the bag is filled by a third, this complicates the operation of the device and increases the load on the mechanisms.

1. Microwave oven

The microwave oven can not be turned on empty or underloaded, as this will damage the magnetron. If you need to warm up a serving of less than 200 g, put a glass of water inside - it will take unclaimed microwaves, and in addition, the warmed food will not be dry.

1. Electric kettle

Scale in the kettle must be removed as soon as you find it. Do this as often as required. Scale reduces the heat exchange between the water and the heating element. As a result of overheating, it breaks down. With scum, vinegar, citric acid and special products are doing great.

1. The coffee maker

Monthly it is necessary to conduct decalcification of the coffee machine, that is, to remove the scum. For this purpose, you can use citric acid (30 g per liter of water) or special decalciner agents.

1. Iron

In the iron, it is recommended to fill only filtered water, otherwise scales will form. If you pour water from the tap, then it is necessary to clean it immediately. In a glass of water, add 20-30 g of citric acid and pour into the iron. Turn on, heat to maximum temperature and turn on the steam function.

1. Hair stylers

The hair dryer also needs frequent cleaning and the first signal is the smell coming from it during work. Remove the air intake protection, clean the heating element of dust and hair, and then collect the hair dryer back. Try to turn on - there should not be a smell. Clean the hair dryer at least once every 2 months.

By the way, you need to take care of the hairpinners and hair iron. The styling products (varnish, foam) stick to the surface and subsequently spoil your hair and the heating element of the appliance. Wet a terry towel with warm water and wipe the warm plates. Use the appliance after it has completely dried.
