Hi, I'm Amy from eSpares.
In this video I'll be introducing you to
some handy appliance cleaning products
that you may not be aware we offer on our website.
We're appliance cleaning advocates here.
As a regular clean not only ensures
that your appliance stays gleaming
but also prolongs the life and improves efficiency.
In fact we have a whole playlist
on specific appliance cleaning tips that we'll link
at the end of this video for you to
check out after watching this video.
There are two main types of appliance cleaners that you can get.
A bespoke cleaner
that is designed with a specific appliance type in mind
Or versatile all-purpose cleaners
that can tackle a range of different appliances around your home
and can also save you a bit of money.
As you won't need to buy as many products.
We'll share our recommendations
and when best to use both types of cleaners.
When cleaning your appliances
it's so important to remember to clean the inside as well.
Often if dirt is out of sight
it's out of mind.
But it's the harmful build-ups inside your machine
that need to be shifted.
Grease in your cooker or in your cooker hood
may seem harmless
but actually build-up of grease in your cooker
can actually be a fire risk
and a clogged grease filter in your cooker hood
can stop it working effectively.
Now these can be easily washed or replaced
depending on what type of filter you have.
The grease on your oven however,
is a little tougher to remove.
So a dedicated oven cleaner
is likely to be the best option for the job.
We recommend this Wellco Professional Oven Cleaner
as it's biodegradable
non-corrosive
abrasive
staining
toxic or dangerous to food.
However, we are also fans of
The Pink Stuff Miracle Cleaning Paste.
Which is very versatile
and works wonders on oven doors.
All you need is a damp cloth
and a bit of elbow grease.
For hobs, a damp cloth and washing up liquid
is enough to remove grease and grime.
But for more heavily soiled hobs
or for burnt on food.
We recommend using a specialist cleaner
as using the wrong cleaner can scratch the surface
and also affect the colour and shine.
This Ceramic & Induction Hob Cleaner is also from Wellco
and we recommend it because it not only removes stubborn stains
but also leaves a silicon film
to protect the hob surface from future spills.
Another appliance that benefits from a specifically designed cleaner
is any stainless steel appliance.
Greasy smudges or scratches
will show up really easily on stainless steel.
If you use this Wellco cleaner
and spray it
then leave it for 60 seconds
and polish out with a soft microfiber cloth.
You will be left with a perfectly polished finished product.
For smaller appliances such as
kettles, steam irons,
filter coffee machines
or shower heads.
We really recommend this Wellco All-Purpose Liquid Descaler.
As it's easy to use
comes in a generously sized bottle
and works its magic in under 20 minutes.
Before we move on from Wellco.
They've got microwaves covered too.
With the Professional Microwave Cleaning Spray
that cuts through burnt food residue,
tough grease and eliminates smells.
Getting rid of burnt-on food is important in a microwave
as if it's left
it can damage the appliance.
If you don't use your microwave often enough
to warrant a dedicated cleaner.
A multi-purpose household cleaning product
can also be used to keep the inside of your microwave
clean and fresh.
Limescale is another type of build-up
that can be a big problem to your machines.
Limescale can form on any appliance that heats water
such as your dishwasher, washing machine,
kettle, iron or steam cleaner.
But the good news is
all it takes to get rid of the limescale
is a descaler and we stock a whole range on our website
that we'd recommend.
Our own brand descaler
has been designed specifically
for dishwashers and washing machines.
As well as removing limescale
it gets rid of bad smells,
shifts food particles and grease from dishwashers
and removes undissolved detergent from inside washing machines.
This product is actually a best seller out of every item on our website.
With over a thousand customer reviews and a 4.8 star rating.
We'll link down below so you can see
what our other customers have had to say about it
and we'll also link a video up here
explaining exactly how to use it.
If you live in a hard water area
limescale will be more prevalent in your appliances.
So they will be in need of more regular descaling.
However one way to protect your dishwasher
from limescale deposits
is by using dishwasher salts.
As they will soften the water and make limescale less
likely to form inside your machine.
Using dishwasher salt like this Finish product
also has the added benefits
of preventing your glasses from getting cloudy in the dishwasher.
Rinse aid is also helpful in giving your dishes and glassware
that sparkle as it breaks up the surface tension of the water
so it slides off items more easily.
Finish are known for their dishwasher range.
So it's worth giving their rinse aid a try.
We have two key bits of cleaning advice
when it comes to your vacuums
and that's to make sure that you change the bag
and empty the bin regularly
to avoid bacteria build-up.
Also make sure that you clean the filter regularly.
As over time this can become blocked with dust
and will stop your machine working at its best.
A vacuum cleaning product we really recommend
are these handy little scented sachets
that you either pour into the bin
or into the bag
or even sprinkle on the floor and vacuum up
and as you're vacuuming they'll release a
fresh eucalyptus scent.
So that you can clean your floors
and leave your home smelling fresh at the same time.
Whilst this next tip isn't exactly related to cleaning products.
We thought it'd be really important
to mention that every time you use your tumble dryer
it's really important to clean out the lint filter.
Lint has been known to start fires in tumble dryers
so we thought it's a really important tip worth mentioning.
That's all of our recommendations for now
and if you do try any of these products
we really hope that you like them as much as we do.
