Food processors and mixers can be cleaned from the outside with a wet cloth. In case of grease or oils use a soft sponge to wipe away stains and follow it up with a wet cloth. Take special care to clean the ridges where the container fits into the mixer/food processor.
Use a soft bristles tooth brush to clean inaccessible areas. Remove all the small parts of a mixer container, including the soft rubber ring before washing them under running water with dish washing liquid.
Refrigerator: Every 7 days, wipe the interiors of the refrigerator with a damp cloth. Remove all shelves and wash them under running water with dish washing liquid. Allow them to dry before putting them back.
You can keep a bowl of ground coffee at the back of the fridge to absorb odors.
Microwave: to clean the inside of a microwave, take bowl of water and mix a spoonful of baking soda. Place it in the microwave and power on for 5 minutes. This will form a thin layer of moisture on the walls of the microwave and loosen dried stains.
