Window/Wall Air Conditioner Filter
By · CommentsNow’s a good time to clean or replace the air conditioner filter. Depending on the air quality this may need to be done monthly throughout the cooling season. This filter will fit most window or wall air conditioners.
In preparation for the cooling season, clean the condenser coils on your window or through-the-wall air conditioner. Remove the entire cover of the air conditioner to gain access to the coils. Watch out for wasp or bees nests inside the unit. The coils can be cleaned by blowing compressed air at them or by using a soft bristle brush to wipe the dirt off. While you have the unit open, be sure to clean any dirt or lint build up in the bottom of the air conditioner, and oil the motor if it is equipped with oil ports on the sides.

By · CommentsDishwashers work best with very hot water. Let the water at the kitchen sink run for a few moments until it’s hot before turning on the dishwasher. This will bring hot water to the dishwasher faster.
To eliminate soap scum, mold, and bad odors wash your dishwasher every six months with a dishwasher cleaner. Put the dishwasher cleaner in the soap dispenser and run a cycle. In that one easy step, your dishes will be cleaner, and you will extend the life of your dishwasher.

Drink This, Not That
By · CommentsWith so many distractions in our everyday lives, replacing the refrigerator water filter is the last thing on our minds. However, many consumers don’t realize the negative effects of not changing the filter regularly: bacteria growth, bad tasting water and ice, and reduced water pressure. Appliance manufacturers recommend replacing the refrigerator or icemaker water filter every four to six months for the purest, and best tasting water and ice.
Most water filters contain activated carbon and synthetic filters which removes impurities and sediment in the water, and an anti-bacterial compound which helps to prevent bacterial growth in the filter. As the water passes through the filter, the carbon absorbs contaminants producing purer water. If the water filter is not changed frequently enough, the activated carbon will become saturated and the carbon will no longer absorb the contaminants. In addition, the anti-bacterial compound slowly loses its effectiveness. Eventually, the “filtered” water can contain more bacteria and impurities than the original water source.
Not all refrigerators and icemakers have a factory installed water filter, especially older models. However, a universal water filter can be installed on the water supply line. These types of filters can also be installed on the water supply line connected to sink faucets for cleaner water at the tap.
If your refrigerator does not have an icemaker, an add-on icemaker kit may be available. Many refrigerators have a tag on the back wall inside the freezer that gives a kit number indicating exactly what kind of icemaker will fit in that refrigerator.
