Home Tips

Speaking of water adventures, a quick tip: after a swim or fishing day, promptly wash your wet clothes. The waters of Willard can be unforgiving, and delaying the laundry process may lead to mildew issues that your washer might struggle to eliminate.

Appliance Wisdom for Willard Residents

Here are some invaluable tips for maintaining your appliances in Willard:

Refrigerator:

• Maintain temperatures between 35-38°F (1-3°C) for the fridge and 0°F (-18°C) for the freezer.
• Regularly clean and vacuum the coils to ensure optimal efficiency.
• Avoid overloading the fridge to promote proper air circulation.

Washing Machine:

• Use the right amount of detergent to prevent excess suds and residue buildup.
• Avoid overloading the machine to ensure thorough cleaning and prevent strain on the motor.
• Leave the door open on front-load washers after a cycle to prevent mold and mildew growth.

Dryer:

• Clean the lint filter before or after each use to improve drying efficiency and reduce fire risk.
• Periodically check and clean the dryer vent to prevent lint buildup and potential fire hazards.

Dishwasher:

• Scrape off excess food debris before loading dishes, as pre-rinsing isn’t necessary for modern dishwashers.
• Run an empty cycle with a dishwasher cleaner to remove mineral deposits and maintain a fresh scent.

Microwave:

• Use microwave-safe containers and covers to prevent damage or fires.

Oven and Stove:

• Clean up spills and crumbs promptly to prevent burnt-on messes.
• Use appropriate cookware sizes to avoid energy waste and uneven cooking.
• Avoid storing items that may melt or catch fire in your oven.
