Bleach, ammonia, toxic aerosols &ndash; cleaning your appliances can seem like a dangerous, and not-so-eco-friendly task sometimes! But you don&rsquo;t have to bring harsh chemicals into your home to get your appliances looking, working, and smelling their best -- there are plenty of green ways to clean up your appliances and living spaces. Try these eco-conscious methods for getting all your appliances squeaky clean!
&nbsp;
<h1>Keep an Eye on These Companies</h1>
Though many commercial cleaning products are packed full of toxins, plastics, and chemicals, some companies specialize in cleaners designed to do right by the environment. If you want the best of both worlds, Seventh Generation, Method, Mrs. Meyer&rsquo;s, Eco-Me, and Better Life all produce excellent cleaning products designed to minimize hazards to the environment and your health.
&nbsp;
<h1>Avoid These Buzzwords</h1>
<img src="https://cdn.avbportal.com/magento-media/2019/iStock-182441245.jpg?w=700" />
Always check the label before you purchase a product for cleaning your appliances. Even if you can&rsquo;t make heads nor tails of the ingredients list, environmentally unfriendly cleaners can usually be identified by warnings with words like &ldquo;hazardous,&rdquo; &ldquo;corrosive,&rdquo; or &ldquo;flammable.&rdquo; Products with these warnings can release toxins into the air, water, and soil when you use them, not to mention into your home, and should be avoided whenever possible.
&nbsp;
<h1>Make Your Own Cleaner</h1>
If you want to know exactly what&rsquo;s going into the stuff you&rsquo;re putting on your appliances, you can easily make your own powerful and non-toxic cleaner! And it doesn&rsquo;t take fancy ingredients either &ndash; in fact, you&rsquo;ll probably be able to find them in your pantry already.
<img src="https://cdn.avbportal.com/magento-media/2019/iStock-486372092 _1_.jpg?w=700" />
White vinegar and baking soda are the perfect all-purpose cleaners for almost all of your appliances. To sanitize and deodorize your <a href="https://www.aztecappliance.com/catalog/dishwashers">dishwasher</a> or <a href="https://www.aztecappliance.com/catalog/washers">washing machine</a>, just place a cup full of vinegar on the top shelf or pour it into the detergent tray before running a wash cycle on high heat. Baking soda, on the other hand, can be combined with water to make a paste and used to scrub away gunk from your oven or cooktop. When you combine baking soda, white vinegar, and water into a spray bottle, you&rsquo;ve got yourself the perfect all-purpose cleaner for any surface.
&nbsp;
<h1>Lemons Are Your Friend</h1>
<img src="https://cdn.avbportal.com/magento-media/2019/iStock-183821623 _1_.jpg?w=700" />
Not only are lemons the perfect ingredient for tons of spring and summer culinary creations (lemon zest salmon with lemon meringue pie and lemonade on the side, anyone?) they&rsquo;re also the perfect organic cleaner! Heating a halved lemon in a bowl of water is a great way to clean and deodorize your <a href="https://www.aztecappliance.com/catalog/microwaves">microwave</a>. Lemons are also a great degreaser for sinks and stained chrome faucets. And the best part about lemons&hellip;you can compost whatever&rsquo;s left over! No waste, no toxins, no grime.
&nbsp;
<h1>Give Your Steel a Shine</h1>
The outside of your appliances deserve to look their best too! While white vinegar alone should be enough to clean the outer surface of plastic-coated refrigerators, stainless steel appliances will need a special touch to get them looking shiny and new.
Olive oil and white vinegar are perfect for giving your stainless appliances a thorough clean and flawless shine. Spray the surface of your stainless steel <a href="https://www.aztecappliance.com/catalog/refrigeration">refrigerator</a>, dishwasher, or <a href="https://www.aztecappliance.com/catalog/wall-ovens">oven</a> with white vinegar and wipe it down in the direction of the metal grain. Then dip a cloth in olive oil and gently polish the appliance, again, in the same direction of the metal grain. Totally food-safe, and totally eco-friendly!
&nbsp;
Keeping a tidy home and sanitary appliances doesn&rsquo;t have to come at the cost of a healthy living space and a healthy environment! So stop fretting over your environmental impact and start your spring cleaning off with a clean conscience.

Eco-Friendly Ways to Clean Your Appliances

Let’s get started on your spring cleaning venture with a little assistance from the KonMari Method in your kitchen ...

When you open your kitchen drawers and cabinets, do you have to dig through piles of utensils to find what you&rsquo;re looking for? Are there cups where the bowls go and Tupperware thrown in with the pots and pans? If this sounds like your kitchen, doing a little reorganizing is the best way to get your cooking space back in order. But, when it comes to cleaning and decluttering, not knowing where to start can be the most overwhelming part of all.
<img src="https://cdn.avbportal.com/magento-media/iStock-913438934.jpg?w=700" />
With the help of the Konmari Method, a strategy for decluttering by category, the sight of your kitchen drawers will never leave you with high blood pressure again. It&rsquo;s all about removing what you don&rsquo;t need and only keeping the things that spark joy in your life. Let&rsquo;s get started on your spring cleaning venture with a little assistance from the KonMari Method in your kitchen!
&nbsp;
Put Everything in a Pile and Categorize
Marie Kondo, the creator of the KonMari method, is a decluttering guru. From her book &ldquo;The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing&rdquo; to her Netflix show, &ldquo;Tidying Up with Marie Kondo,&rdquo; Kondo has been helping clear out the clutter in homes with her simple yet bright tips. So, your first step is pretty easy: Take everything out of your kitchen drawers and cabinets, and place on the floor in a pile. We&rsquo;re talking your skillet, your utensils, that random drawer full of nonsense and rubber bands, and even all the dry food. Hold off on the fridge, we&rsquo;ll get to that in a bit.
<img src="https://cdn.avbportal.com/magento-media/iStock-536685288.jpg?w=700" />
Once everything is on the ground, it&rsquo;s time to start sorting! Give yourself these categories:
<ul>
<li>Items used in the last six months</li>
<li>items you have used in the last year (these will be tossed or donated)</li>
<li>sentimental items such as an engraved cake knife from your wedding day</li>
<li>non-kitchen things</li>
<li>Duplicates (not including Tupperware, dinner sets, etc.) or anything that is broken or worn out should be placed in another pile to be tossed or donated</li>
</ul>
Now that you&rsquo;re left with items you&rsquo;ve used in the last six months, sentimental items, and non-kitchen items, you&rsquo;re ready to start organizing your kitchen!
&nbsp;
Drawer Dividers Are Your Friend
You may be tempted to just throw all your utensils and silverware right back into your drawers and call it a day, but we have a better idea: either buy or create <a href="https://www.amazon.com/madesmart-Basic-Gadget-Tray-Organizer/dp/B0109TGL4U/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?tag=dipa0920-20&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1536147940&amp;sr=8-2-spons&amp;keywords=drawer+organizer&amp;psc=1">drawer dividers</a>. This will help separate your various items and make finding them when you actually need them incredibly easy.
<img src="https://cdn.avbportal.com/magento-media/iStock-1044354232.jpg?w=700" />
In a perfect world, you&rsquo;d have at least four drawers in your kitchen &ndash; one for placing all your everyday cutlery and silverware, the 2nd for ziplock backs and food wrap storage, the third for specialty items, and the fourth for your kitchen washcloths.
&nbsp;
Crafty Kitchen Cabinet
<img src="https://cdn.avbportal.com/magento-media/iStock-173670498.jpg?w=700" />
When it comes to organizing your cabinets, it&rsquo;s crucial that you can see everything. Of course, you may want to stack some of your pots and pans, which is completely allowed, but never overcrowd the space and obstruct the view. Using a shelf organizer like <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Simple-Houseware-Expandable-Stackable-Organizer/dp/B01M8PMKW9/ref=sr_1_10?tag=dipa0920-20&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1536148391&amp;sr=8-10&amp;keywords=inside+shelf+organizer">this</a> can come in handy, especially when you are dealing with spices and food. Don&rsquo;t be afraid to get creative with the inside of your cabinet doors &ndash; use hooks to hang up measuring spoons or even mugs.
&nbsp;
Refrigerator Organization
<img src="https://cdn.avbportal.com/magento-media/iStock-601137946.jpg?w=700" />
When it comes to your <a href="https://www.aztecappliance.com/catalog/refrigeration">refrigerator</a>, the KonMari method works a little differently. There are basically only two piles you need to create: expired items and everything else. Make sure to remove everything from your fridge and throw out everything past the due date. Wipe out the shelves and drawers with a little soap and water blend before placing everything back in. You can even use these <a href="https://www.amazon.com/StorageMaid-Stackable-Storage-Fridge-Bins/dp/B07MFZRKKM/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=221UF7989R26E&amp;keywords=refrigerator+organizer+bins&amp;qid=1553643040&amp;s=gateway&amp;sprefix=refrigerator+organize%2Caps%2C212&amp;sr=8-1-spons&amp;psc=1">bins</a> to help make organization easier!
&nbsp;
Now take a look at your organized kitchen and check out all the work that you&rsquo;ve done! From cleaning up your drawers to sanitizing your refrigerator, the KonMari Method is perfect for creating a refreshing space in your home.
