Cleaning Product FAQs
How often should I clean my washing machine?
Clean your washing machine at least once a month, Whirlpool advises, and sooner if you notice odours, clothes that don't smell fresh or visible mildew. Empty the drum, put one washing machine cleaner tablet in the basket and run the Clean Washer cycle, or the hottest, highest-water-level cycle if your machine doesn't have one, and let it finish without opening the door or lid.
How do I clean a dishwasher with a dishwasher cleaner tablet?
To clean a dishwasher, put one dishwasher cleaner tablet in the detergent dispenser of the empty machine and run a Normal cycle, about once a month or every 30 washes, as Whirlpool advises for Affresh tablets. You can also place the tablet on the bottom of the tub with a regular load and detergent. Afterwards, leave the door slightly open so the dishwasher can dry and air out.
How do I clean a glass or ceramic cooktop without scratching it?
Clean a glass or ceramic cooktop once it has cooled, using a cooktop cleaning cream and a cooktop cleaning pad. GE's manual says to remove heavy burned-on residue with a single-edge razor scraper held at about 45 degrees, then use the cream and pad on what remains and polish with a paper towel. Never use a dull or nicked blade, and don't heat the cooktop until it is clean.
How should I clean hardwood floors?
Clean hardwood floors by dust-mopping daily with a dry microfibre pad and damp-cleaning weekly: spray a hardwood floor cleaner and wipe with a microfibre cleaning pad, as Bona's floor care guide recommends. Avoid excess liquid, because wet mopping from a bucket and steam cleaners can make wood cup and cause long-term damage. Bona also warns that wax and oil soaps can make refinishing difficult.
Which floor cleaner should I use for luxury vinyl, stone, tile or laminate floors?
Use a floor cleaner made for your floor type: Bona's Pro Series, for example, has separate cleaners for hardwood, for stone, tile and laminate, and for luxury vinyl. Bona's floor care guide uses the same routine for each: dust-mop first, then spray the cleaner and wipe with a microfibre pad. Keep liquid to a minimum on laminate and luxury vinyl, which excess water can damage.
