Dishwasher Surface Maintaining
Lets mention one common appliance cleaning mistake before we get started. Number one appliance cleaning mistake - using Commercial Oven Cleaner! Do Not use commercial oven cleaner as your appliance cleaner if you would like to retain any surface on your kitchen's appliances!
What are a few kitchen maintenance item tips?
Microwave Ovens
Leaving the microwave door slightly open after using the microwave is one very simple maintenance tip for promoting years of life to microwaves. An occasional cleaning with a mixture of baking soda and water keeps the microwaves interior fresh. Remember oven cleaner in NOT to be used in your microwave oven. Maintaining your microwave also means to check, and not to use microwave ovens with bent doors, loose hinges or latches, or faulty door seals. YOU KNOW WHY - now listen!

Dishwashers
Using a very lightly dampened cloth is all that is recommended for cleaning the control panel. Then to the door or the front of dishwasher. Cleaning this area with an appliance wax twice a year helps protect the dishwasher surface, and give your dishwasher back the shine.
Cleaning Stoves and Ranges
Cleaning up spills right away is one of the most important tips for your long term surface life on this appliance. Acidic foods containing vinegar damage the finish. Barbecue and other items with ketchup or tomato sauces are one of the most common acidic surface wreckers of stoves, cooktops, and ranges. A mixed with water vinegar solution can be used for cleaning - the difference is you are cleaning off the range or appliance surface right away!
Is your range the style with the built in drop pans? Clean the pans and rims often to prevent fires. Many people including the author once upon a time think the burners which easily remove and reattach are permanently attached.
