Maintenance Tips on appliances
Hi all, I hope you are keeping warm. I have just sent out a newsletter to some of customers and I included some maintenance tips which might help you as well.
Dryers - clean out the internal lint filter after every load. Check all air vents on the dryer once per year. This can help the unit work properly and last longer as well as reduce any fire risk.
Washing Machines - clean out any filters, check your manual. Also it can pay to do a "hot" wash every now and then to help clean out any buildup soap scum. Also check your hoses aren't leaking.
Vacuum Cleaners - clean out filters regularly, especially if you are using a bag-less vacuum cleaner.
Warm Regards
