Fridges and Freezers
- Install fridges and freezers in a dry, well-ventilated room. Most refrigerators should not be installed in direct sunlight or near a heat source such as a radiator.
- Regularly defrost your freezer if it is not “frost-free.”
- On frost-free models clean the rear of your fridge compartment and check that the drainage hole is clear.
Kettles
- Descale your kettle regularly, especially if you live in a hard water area. Limescale build-up will reduce the efficiency of the heating element.
- Only boil as much water as you need. This will ensure the heating element is only used for the amount of water needed.

Washing Machines
- Leave the door of your machine open after use if you want to help moisture escape and to prevent damp smells.
- Keep the soap dispensers clean. Occasionally remove the detergent drawer and clean it using hot water and an old toothbrush.
- Check and clean the filter from time to time.
- A few times a year, run a maintenance cycle – see the instruction booklet for details.
- Only attempt to open the washing machine mid-cycle if your instruction manual specifies you can – some new machines allow you to open to add that stray sock – as on most machines the programme finishes with a cooling cycle designed to reduce both the temperature and the amount of creasing.
