Re: How often do you pull out your stove and refrigerator to clean around it?

Easy enough to pull them out, getting behind and cleaning is hard, not enough room to ease in and out.  I'm on a diet, I'll post back here when a few pounds and several inches less to report. Woman LOL

Re: How often do you pull out your stove and refrigerator to clean around it?

We have a built-in double wall oven and matching microwave so I only pull the refrigerator out about 4-5 times a year.  I pull my washer and dryer out every 2-3 months.  Can't stand the dust and lint that accumulates behind them.

Am I supposed to do that? Just kidding. I use a long brush to get under the stove occasionally and my husband pulls the refrigerator out once a year.

Re: How often do you pull out your stove and refrigerator to clean around it?

as little as possible since refrigerators became so huge. I used to every couple of months when the size was managable to do so  & they had visible coils to be dusted. They were smaller and I was stronger.

 

If I nag DH enough  need to paint the nook or replace flooring he will pull it out. Then of course it has to be checked for balance again.

Re: How often do you pull out your stove and refrigerator to clean around it?

I have a long thin brush on a wire handle - which I use to clean under the washer/dryer, under the refrigerator and stove. I bought this brush from the Q many, many years ago - a great purchase. I would NEVER think of moving the stove or refrigerator.

I purchased a new refrigerator 2 years ago and when the delivery guys removed my old refrigerator - I just had to wipe some dust off the floor and the lower wall behind it. I owned that Whirlpool refrigerator for 29 years (17 years in my house and 12 years in my previous house). It was never repaired.

My gas stove was installed by the builder 19 years ago (it was a brand new house) and was never repaired.

Stove once, and it wasn't that bad underneath.  It is difficult to get leveled up again, so from now on, never.  Frig occasionally.

The fridge once a year (concidentally it's this month too, September). Stove and oven are built ins, thank goodness. 

 

Washer and Dryer I have to clean under/behind every six weeks or so.....hate that
