Cleaning/Maintenance

Quarterly:

• Delete outdated computer files.
• Uninstall programs you no longer use on your PC and laptop.
• Make a back-up of computer files.
• Organize computer files.
• Organize paper files.

Kitchen

Refrigerator:

• Remove dust from the top of the refrigerator.
• Empty and clean the drip pan.
• Clean coils.

Apply a wood protectant to kitchen cabinets.

Dishwasher:

• Check the dishwasher for leaks.
• Remove the dishwasher spray arm and clean out the holes. This also allows access to the filter for cleaning. Some snap off, while others require you to unscrew a cap on top. Use an open paper clip (never a toothpick) to get under and remove debris. Don’t push into the arm.
• Clean the dishwasher filter. Remove the filter screen if possible. Otherwise, use a wet/dry vacuum to suck out the debris.
• Clean dishwasher float.
