Always unplug before cleaning
Safety first: switch off and unplug any electrical appliance before cleaning it, and never immerse the motor base or electrical parts in water. This applies to mixers, kettles, toasters and more.
Clean after every use
Wipe down appliances and wash removable parts (like mixer jars) soon after use, before food dries on. Regular cleaning prevents buildup, odours and the bacteria that thrive on leftover residue.
Descale the kettle
In hard-water areas, kettles build up limescale that slows heating. Descale periodically with a water-and-vinegar solution, then rinse well — it keeps the kettle efficient and your water clean-tasting.
Care for mixer grinders
- Don't run the motor continuously — give it short rests on heavy jobs.
- Wash jars and blades by hand; dry fully before storing.
- Never overfill jars past the marked line.
- Wipe the base with a damp cloth, never under running water.
Keep the fridge running well
Clean the interior regularly, check door seals, and dust the back coils occasionally so it cools efficiently. Don't overpack it — air needs to circulate.
Crumbs and grease
Empty the toaster crumb tray and wipe greasy surfaces on toasters, air fryers and sandwich makers. Built-up crumbs and grease are both a hygiene and a fire risk.
Store and handle with care
Keep appliances dry, coil cords loosely (not tightly kinked), and store smaller ones where they won't get knocked. Gentle handling extends their life.
