5 Tips for Cleaning Appliances

Coastal living in Tamarin and Black River brings incredible views, but the combination of humidity and salt air can take a heavy toll on household appliances. Here is how to keep them running efficiently:

1. Tackle Refrigerator Coils

Dust mixed with kitchen humidity can insulate your fridge coils, forcing the compressor to work harder. Vacuum them every six months.

2. Combat Salt Air Corrosion

Wipe down the exterior stainless steel surfaces of your outdoor kitchens and indoor appliances regularly with a microfiber cloth and a protective polish to prevent pitting.

3. Deodorize the Microwave Naturally

Instead of harsh chemicals, microwave a bowl of water with lemon slices for 3 minutes, let the steam loosen baked-on grease, and wipe clean.

4. Wipe Rubber Door Gaskets

Keep washing machine and fridge door seals dry and clean to prevent mold growth encouraged by tropical humidity.

5. Schedule Professional Deep Cleans

Let our teams handle heavy appliance degreasing during your scheduled deep cleaning or move-in transitions[cite: 1, 6].
