Checklist of 5 Ideas to Prepare Your Kitchen Appliances during a Move!

by Ram Sewak Transportation

Whether you are preparing your kitchen appliances before the move, or are doing it, upon relocating to your new address, there is a set of ways and styles that you should follow to do that properly. Electronic items are among the highly sensitive and expensive articles from our household and they do need a unique handling and ample protection and preparation before they are being moved. But, we would advise you to decide carefully while you are dealing with all this, because any degree of carelessness and casual approach might break them, and you could also injure yourself along the way! So, the best thing you can do is hire the expert packing team from Agarwal Packers.

Every kitchen appliance has an appropriate way of treatment, which not every one of us is aware of. So, seeking professional assistance remains a good option, but if you are not in a mood to spend your money on the experts for this trivial task and are willing to do that on your own, here are some amazing ways that you can opt for while cleaning/preparing your kitchen appliances during the relocation purpose.

• Begin with refrigerator – Our refrigerator is one of the most frequently used appliances in our household – that is always put on power, and at all times, loaded with food and other dry ingredients. All of this makes it a damp and stinky place, and therefore the interiors of the refrigerator need to be thoroughly cleaned and wiped out with a generous dose of cleanser (mild detergent, liquid soap, or vinegar). This refrigerator cleaning cycle should be a customary approach and should be carried out every couple of weeks.

Make sure you prepare your refrigerator at least a few weeks ago, so you can carry a spring clean one, during your move. If you are making it ready a few days ahead of your move, you should unplug it from the mains, and use a damp cloth to wipe clean the surfaces, shelves, and cabinets, once you have pulled out everything to be packed.

• Reach your microwave oven – The second most essential appliance in our kitchen is the oven, and cleaning/preparing it ahead of the move should be done with care. If you have the user manual, you can refer to it, at any point in time. You can even seek assistance from online tutorials or videos, to ensure you handle your heavy and complicated items effortlessly. While dealing with your oven, make sure it is grime-free and there are no food particles, or spillage marks, as it would call for unwanted smell and bugs too! To get rid of this issue, you can use wet tissues that are lightly fragranced and are formulated with disinfectant liquids to easily wipe the spaces, both from inside and from the outside surfaces – the oven door, the button panel alongside, the hinges, and the glass plate that holds all your crockery that you put inside.

• Deal with your dishwasher – If you own a dishwasher, you would know how complicated it is to manage, especially when it comes to cleaning and preparing it for a move. With time, the dishwasher system accumulates food particles, oil, dirt, and debris, and this makes it ideal for several cleaning sessions, with each happening in a couple of weeks, depending on the usage. Inspect the bottom, where the channel is fitted, and see if the washers are tight and well fit, or else it would disturb the working of your dishwasher, with time. Sterilizing your dishwasher every 15 days is a great way to combat unwanted smells and ensure the effective functioning of the equipment. This is quite a lot of work to carry out, so make sure you get it done by the professional cleaning agents, before your moving team from Agarwal Packers and Movers, reaches your spot!

• Handle the Food Processor – Whether it is your food processor or mixer grinder, or blending machine – you would know, it is quite complicated to deal with, single-handedly. You would need to refer to the user guide or peruse the internet to know the cleaning and maintenance tips or hacks to prepare your food processor during your relocation. But, here is a word of caution, handling your food processor could be a challenging task, and amidst the hustle, you might harm yourself too, because there are metal blades, blade shafts that can injure you severely if you are not careful enough.

While you are into the process, you should pull out anything removable from the appliance, and infuse them in cleaning liquid or soapy water. If there is something in the blades, you should get all of that thoroughly cleaned and wiped properly with a gentle brush. Keep these wet and partially damped items in the open, so that everything turns dry and fit to be put back into its original place or prepared for the move.

• Do not forget the Coffeemaker – There are various ways of cleaning up your coffee-making machine – whether you have a simple one or one that is a bit complicated, you should follow the right cleaning measures to wash them. You can even do this, once you have moved into your new space, or else, if you wish to fulfil all that ahead of your move, as you wish to arrive at your new home, with spring clean, and ready to be installed immediately equipment, you can do this beforehand. All you need to do is, pull out the detachable parts, and wash them thoroughly in lukewarm water. To run a deep clean, you can use a mixture of water and vinegar and press the swill (brew) button to let the process work. Do not forget to clean the outside of the machine, and pat dry.
