Preventive Maintenance for Electric Fan

Electric fans accumulate dust and dirt quickly. This would greatly affect the efficiency of the fans. It is very important that we keep fans clean at all times. To clean your electric fan: Use warm soapy water to clean the blade cover, blade and front and rear outer cover. Make sure to remove the accumulated dirt in the fan motor itself. Use a paintbrush to clean it. Wipe everything ensuring they are all dry before returning the parts.

Preventive Maintenance for Washing Machine

Dirt and grime build up quickly inside the washing machine. It may result in a foul smell, which can easily transfer to your clothes. Cleaning washing machines on a regular basis will definitely keep it fresh. Here are some simple ways to clean your washing machine: Wash the tub with clean water after every use. This removes the dirt inside the washing machine. Remove solid residue found inside the machine. Then with a cleaning cloth, wipe the interior surface. Wipe the exterior surface of the washing machine with cleaning cloth and all-purpose cleaner or dish soap. Clean the outside vent once a year and make sure it opens when the dryer is on and closes properly when the dryer is off.

Preventive Maintenance for Refrigerator

We store our foods in the refrigerator, so it is very important to keep it clean and germ-free. Improperly stored foods, leaks and spills are possible nesting grounds for bacteria. To prevent our family from getting food-borne diseases, we have to make sure that our refrigerator is debris-free for it to run smoothly. Here are some simple steps to clean our refrigerator: Wash the shelves with mild detergent and warm water. Use disinfectant to kill bacteria. Wipe the gaskets whenever there is debris or clean it at least once every three to four months to keep the cold air flowing continuously. Clean the refrigerator’s exterior face with hot water and dish soap when it shows any off coloring. Clean the coils in your refrigerator by using a handheld vacuum to remove any loose particles. You may vacuum every 6 to 12 months. If you don't have a vacuum cleaner, wipe the coils with a dry cloth every 3 months.

Preventive Maintenance for Appliances

Like most mothers, our home is my haven. I take great measures in taking care of our home. I don't care if my hands get dirty as long as my home is neat and clean! However, with three kids around the house (which includes a frisky toddler), keeping it neat is close to impossible. There is one aspect to cleaning the house that I usually overlook. That is, having a regular maintenance check up for our appliances. Most high-quality appliances are designed to last for a long period of time. However, if we don’t give them the proper care, we might shorten the time that we have them in good working condition. Preventive maintenance on our appliances keeps them working at their best. It also helps them to last for as long as possible. Regular maintenance saves us from possible list of repairs that may prove to be expensive later on.
