How To Keep Your Cerritos/Hawaiian Gardens Home Fire Free

Your Cerritos home should remain a haven for you and your family. Due to this fact, our team would like to present several tips and reminders in maintaining the appliances within your home. 

• Laundry Dryers

Thanks to modern technology, the cleaning process has become extremely efficient. If not properly maintained though, a clothing dryer could be the cause of a disaster within your home. The biggest key to preventing an unexpected disaster is to regularly maintain the lint trap in the appliance. The following process ensures your dryer does not become a hazard to you and your loved ones.

1. Remove the lint trap
2. Collect and dispose of all lint on the trap by hand.
3. Vacuum the tray holder inside the dryer as well as the trap itself.
4. Replace the lint trap when clear signs of damage are noticed. 

• Ovens and Stoves

Ovens and stoves share a common danger in grease and oil remains not being removed. Deep cleaning these appliances when possible is strongly recommended. In sanitizing your stove top, removing the grates and soaking in a soap cleanser is also very advantageous. 

Home appliance maintenance can at times be tedious but these few steps will aid in appliance safety.
