Here are a few tips to keep your white goods looking good, on the inside.
1
If the inside of your dishwasher is starting to look dull or stained, run the machine "empty" through a short wash cycle using two cups of white vinegar, after the initial "pump-out". This should be repeated every six months or so.
2
Vinegar is also handy to clean out your washing machine. About twice a year, run the washing machine on a short wash cycle with four litres of white vinegar; this will remove any build-up of soap or detergent scum in the machine.
3
To clean off baked-on food in your microwave oven with a minimum of effort, squeeze a half cup of lemon juice into a bowl and pop it in on high for two to three minutes. As the juice boils, it fills the oven with steam and the citric acid in the lemon vapour works like a mild bleach and cleaning agent. This loosens the grime, which can be taken off with a damp cloth.
