5 Spring Cleaning Tips For Viking Appliances

5 Spring Cleaning Tips For Viking Appliances

It is going to be springtime before you know it and spring cleaning will be on your mind.   Once you begin to think about cleaning your home, you may want to add cleaning your Viking appliances to your to-do list.  Here are a few simple tips to help you get your Viking appliances sparkling clean again. 

Start cleaning your Viking appliances by doing a quick wipe down.  The best way to do this is to mix two tablespoons of baking soda with one quart of warm water.  This solution will clean about anything in your home and will make all your appliances shine as good as new.  If you have hard dry food stuck in your refrigerator for example you can pour this solution into the bins and let it sit for a while.  Much of the hard scrubbing work will be made easier as the solution will break down the hard dry food particles from the bins.  Once this solution has been in your refrigerator for around 30 minutes you will be able to wipe the entire refrigerator out with ease. 

If your Viking refrigerator has an odor that you cannot get rid of, place a brown paper grocery bag inside the bins for a period of 48 hours.  You will be surprised that the horrible odors will disappear as a result of this little spring cleaning tip.

White appliances are quite popular these days but many times these bright white appliances can become dingy and yellow.  If this happens to your white Viking appliances you can mix ½ cup bleach, ¼ cup baking soda with 4 cups warm water.  Apply this mixture to your white Viking appliances and leave it there for a matter of 10 minutes.  Next you will need to rinse the solution off your appliances and dry them thoroughly.  All the nasty yellow stains should be gone after you go through this process.

You may think that your Viking dishwasher is clean because it is cleaning your dishes each day.  This is partially true, but you still need to clean your dishwasher at least one time a year.  One tip for cleaning your dishwasher is to deodorize the machine by placing a bowl of vinegar in the top rack and running it through a wash cycle.  Also you can remove any food or debris from the drain in the bottom of your washer. 

Do you want to clean your microwave while you’re scrubbing down your appliances? Start with a bowl of water in the microwave.  All you will need to do is turn the machine on and microwave it until it boils.  You will be amazed at how easily that dry stuck on food will wipe away after doing this simple step!

Your Viking oven can be easily cleaned by using the self-cleaning mechanism that is in most ovens. Once your oven is cleaned in this manner, you should be able to keep it clean year round by simply wiping it down each time you use it. 

Hopefully these tips will get you well on your way to spring cleaning your home and Viking appliances.

No L.A. business can afford to wait around on commercial appliance repair, the sooner the professional repair tech shows up, the sooner things will return to normal and everyone will be able to focus their attention on making money.

Residential appliances simply won’t be able to keep up, and poor quality equipment will need frequent repairs.

Is Your Viking Oven and Range Ready for Holiday Cooking?

The holidays are almost upon us. That means you’re doing one of two things. If you’re not packing to go see friends and family, you’re most likely preparing to welcome holiday guests into your own home. If you fall into the latter category, you need to pull yourself away from your menu planning and evaluate the state of your kitchen appliances, especially your Viking oven and range. Be honest, are they really up for the challenge of helping your prepare a Chanukah or Christmas feast? You might want to consider calling a Viking appliance repair professional if you have any doubt.

It’s estimated that approximately 15% of the Los Angeles residents who stay home and cook their own holiday meals will experience some sort of appliance malfunction. For these people, the holiday is ruined. They find it very difficult to be grateful for cheese and crackers and other cold dishes when they were expecting ham, turkey, and steaming piles of mashed potatoes. Even though they’re surprised by the fact that their range let them down, when pressed, most appliance owners admit there were signs something was going to go wrong, they just didn’t pay attention.

If you use your Vikingoven and range on a regular basis, you’re already ahead. Many Los Angeles residents only use the oven a few times a year, and sitting dormant is actually quite hard on the appliance. By using your Viking oven on a regular basis, you already know how it cooks, and know that all the knobs, doors, ignition switches are working properly.

If you don’t use your Viking oven and range on a regular basis, you need to test it out. Don’t put this off. The sooner you test the Viking range and oven, the sooner you will know it works.

One of the mistakes people commonly make when it comes to their Viking oven is having unreasonable expectations. They stuff multiple items in the oven, and have all the burners going on their Viking range and expect everything to come out perfectly prepared. It never does. Yes, cooking multiple items at the same time will cut down on the amount of energy you use, but you need to be reasonable about the amount of items you stuff in the oven. You can’t overload it. Instead of trying to roast a turkey, bake three or four pies, and cook a green bean casserole at the same time, you need to look at your menu and ask yourself if there’s anything you can prepare in advance. Not only will this cut down on the amount of work your Viking oven has to do on the big day, but it also provides you with the perfect opportunity to determine just how well the oven really is working.

If you even suspect there’s a problem with your Viking oven or range, you need to get in touch with us at Ameripro Appliance Repair. We have the best Viking certified appliance repair techs in Los Angeles and use top quality parts. We’re ready and willing to provide any repairs you need. We’re available 24/7.
