Let’s hear a round of applause for washing machines, dryers, fridges, ovens and dishwashers. Five household heroes devoted to making our lives easier and speedier! But that doesn’t mean they don’t need some TLC from us, too, to stay in tiptop shape for as long as possible. “Cleaning and maintaining your most used appliances regularly is essential if you want to extend their working life and get the biggest bang for your buck,” says Peter Simic, The Good Guys Buyer – Refrigeration and Laundry.
Ready to give those trusty home helpers the attention they deserve? Here’s our expert guide, plus some appliances that practically spring-clean themselves!
Many washers now come with self-cleaning functions. Either way, these steps will make yours spick and span:
Peter Simic has one last tip for a fresh-smelling washing machine: “Many people don’t realise that the rubber seals of washing machines can cause unpleasant smells. Detergent residue and water like to hide in those nooks and crannies, and bacteria can build up there. To knock those odours on the head, get into the habit of drying your seals after every wash.”

Follow these steps to curb unappetising smells and keep your fridge running in top gear. Before you start, turn the fridge off so you don’t waste energy while you clean.

You can dodge this dreaded chore nowadays with a pyrolytic oven: they self-clean by using high temperatures and pressure to turn baked-on grime and grease to ash, without the need for harsh chemicals. Rolling up those sleeves to do it yourself? Here’s how:

We often overlook our dishwashers until they give off nasty smells. Here’s how to keep yours at peak performance:
