Without regular cleanings, your dishes might not be getting clean. And who wants to eat off dirty dishes?
3. Clean Out Your Dryer Lint
Lint buildup in your dryer doesn’t just inhibit the clothes drying process, excess lint inside your dryer can catch fire. Keep your home and family safe by cleaning lint out of the dryer’s exhaust system regularly.
2. Change Your Refrigerator’s Air and Water Filters
Replacing the refrigerator water filter helps keep your family healthy. Changing the air filter at the same time you replace the water filter will keep your refrigerator smelling fresh.
