What Easy Appliance Projects Can You Do While Isolating?

Suddenly, we all find ourselves with a lot of time to spend at home and running out of ideas on how to spend that time. What can you do that’s easy, and can even help out around your home? Well, you can take on some easy appliance projects to do while isolating.

Practicing social distancing can take a toll on our moods, one of the best remedies for this is finding something useful to keep ourselves busy. So, from us at Maydone thanks for doing your part and here are some easy projects to keep you occupied and maybe give your appliances a boost! 

How Can You Make More Space in Your Freezer and Keep Food Fresh Longer?

Stocking up is super important for having your home ready for isolation, cleaning your fridge should be at the top of this list, beacuse it will make storing your food way easier.

Arrange food by types, and expiration dates, that way you won’t waste anything. Organizing also helps your fridge work with more energy efficiency. 

What’s the Best Way to Clean Your Small Appliances at Home?

Scrapping the ice from the freezer is going to: give you more space for food, improve freezing, energy spending, prevent freeze bites on your food and help it stay good for longer, so basically all the things you want your freezer to do, especially when you are in isolation mode.

All you need to do is empty the freezer, scrape the ice or let it melt and organize your food again. Use hot water, soap or maybe a mix of vinegar and lemon, whatever suits you and get to work.

Because there are plenty of everyday things we forget to regularly, try to clean what you wouldn’t usually. A gentle simple cloth clean up should suffice. You can also run your dishwasher through an empty cycle with vinegar. 

How Should You Take Care of Your Washer and Dryer During Isolation?

A simple empty cycle will clean your washing machine drum, or maybe you can fix the position to avoid a “dancing washer”, you could also clean the filters or water pumps.

For your dryer, you can clean the drum by spraying some vinegar water mix on the inside and wiping down with a microfiber cloth, that way you get rid of softener or drying sheet residue, and don’t forget to clean the lint filter or trap.

Why and How Should You Change Your Air Filters While at Home?

If you have them available or can get them safely delivered this one might be a good isolation project to embark on. It’s really simple to do and can provide better air quality in the coming weeks you’ll have to spend at home.

We are still here for you!

If you find your appliances need a professional hand give us a call.

I contacted Maydone Appliance Repair to repair our gas stove. Vitali the technician who came to our home was professional and courteous and was quick to diagnose the problem. With the parts being backordered from the original manufacturer, Maydone went above and beyond to source the parts and they were able to make the repairs quickly. Vitali completed the repair and the stove is working again I would highly recommend Maydone

I contacted Maydone to inspect an Induction oven in my home that was giving off a burnt electrical smell, which was freaking me out understandably. They responded quickly and had a tech come out the next day. Igor, I believe. He was fantastic. Very friendly, super informative, and helped us make the best decision. I would undoubtedly call them again, I mean I hope we won't need to, but if we do, for sure I will call the company again. Highly recommended.
