The kitchen is the heart of the home — and let’s be honest, it’s also the place where things get messy. From spilled sauces to mysterious fridge smells, your kitchen appliances go through a lot every single day.
But how often should you actually deep clean them? We’ve got the answers!
Refrigerator & Freezer – Every 3 Months
Your fridge is home to everything from leftovers to fresh produce — and sometimes forgotten science experiments. A deep clean every 3 months helps:
Eliminate odors
Prevent mold or bacteria
Keep food fresh longer
Tip: Always wipe spills immediately and check expiration dates weekly.
Oven & Stove – Every 3 to 6 Months
If you cook regularly, you’ll want to clean your oven every 3 months. Light users can stretch it to every 6 months. Burnt food, grease buildup, and smoke stains can not only affect taste, but also pose fire risks.
Bonus tip: Use the self-cleaning function carefully and never forget to wipe down your stovetop weekly.
Washing Machine – Once a Month
It cleans your clothes, but who cleans it? A monthly deep clean prevents:
Mildew buildup
Musty odors
Residue on clothing
Run a hot cycle with white vinegar or a washer cleaner, and wipe down the rubber seal where mold loves to hide.
Dishwasher – Every 1 to 2 Months
Your dishwasher needs love too. Deep clean it every 1–2 months to remove:
Food particles
Soap scum
Mineral buildup
Remove and rinse the filter, run a cleaning cycle with vinegar or a cleaner pod, and wipe the door seals.
Coffee Maker / Kettle – Monthly
Your morning brew deserves a clean machine! Monthly descaling:
Improves taste
Extends lifespan
Prevents mineral buildup
Use a vinegar-water solution to flush your coffee maker or kettle, then rinse thoroughly.
Microwave – Every 2 Weeks
Especially if you use it daily, give your microwave a deep clean every 1–2 weeks, or immediately after any food explosions (we’re looking at you, pasta sauce).
Pro tip: Heat a bowl of water with lemon for 2 minutes to loosen grime before wiping.
Final Thoughts: Small Effort, Big Impact
Regular deep cleaning of your kitchen appliances doesn’t just make them look good — it helps them work better, last longer and keep your home healthier.
