Get Your Appliances Summer-Ready

With warm weather just around the corner, it’s hosting season—and that means your stove, grill, and dishwasher are about to get a serious workout.
Before the action starts, give your hardworking appliances the deep clean they deserve.

Stove & Oven Deep Clean

  • Pull it out: Clean behind and underneath—dust, crumbs, and grease love hiding there.

  • Avoid self-clean mode: It can damage internal parts over time. Manual scrubbing is safer for your appliance and your wallet.

  • Use the right tools: Apply a reliable oven cleaner and scrub with non-scratch sponges or plastic-safe scrapers.

  • Be patient: That grime built up over months—take your time.

  • Polish it off: Use stainless steel or glass cleaner to finish. Set a calendar reminder for regular upkeep.

Pro Tip: Some stoves lift up—check under the top panel for grease and crumbs. If your stove has coils and drip pans, clean the housing area and consider replacing the pans regularly to prevent that burnt-crumb smell.

BBQ, Smoker, or Blacktop Grill

Your outdoor cooking station needs love too!

  1. Know your grill: Check your model—cast iron, stainless steel, and ceramic all require different care.

  2. Use grill-safe products: Choose non-scratch brushes, degreasers, and scrapers designed for your grill type.

  3. Don't skip the extras: Clean the drip tray, grease trap, and cover.

  4. Prep your tools: Clean your brushes and accessories so they're ready for the next BBQ session.

Dishwasher TLC

All those summer meals = overtime for your dishwasher.

  • Pull it out (carefully): Dust and debris collect behind and underneath.

  • Inspect for wear and leaks: Catch small issues before they turn costly.

  • Filter first: Remove and clean the filter to improve flow and reduce odors.

  • Run a cleaning cycle: Use a dishwasher cleaner (follow the label!) to sanitize inside.

  • Let it air out: Keep the door open after a cycle to fully dry and prevent mildew.

Pro Tip: Wipe down all gaskets and seals—these hidden spots collect bacteria fast.

Bonus Tip: Regular Maintenance = Longer Lifespan

Small efforts now can save you time, money, and future repairs.
