Do we love cleaning? Maybe. Is it time Consuming?  Yes.  Is it satisfying in the end?  Definitely.  A clean house is always satisfying after you clean it.  It feels good to tidy up your house and then just sit back and relax with a good book or your favorite episode of The Office.  

Well there's always the hidden items that you can’t really see that provide the most satisfaction once you clean them.  These items can get pretty dirty because of how long they can sit without being touched.  These are everyday items that don't take long and will leave you feeling satisfied in the end.  

Cleaning a VitaMix

First off, your Vitamix blender.  You ever wonder why that plastic container of your Vitamix gets so foggy.  Well look no fear vinegar is here.  Just add one cup of vinegar to your container and fill halfway with warm water.  Let that sit overnight, then gently soft scrub it out to remove that nasty, foggy, film.

Cleaning the Toaster Tray

The second place to clean is that toaster crumb tray.  That little hidden tray is easy to forget about.  It’s always hidden below or behind the toaster.  Bull that out every week and dump the crumbs and even give it a little soak in some soapy water.  If it gets so bad you start wondering if you should make toast over such a gross tray.  

 
 

Cleaning the Coffee Drip Tray

Lastly, the place that you may forget can get really gross, especially if you're nor careful.  Do you make espresso or coffee pods every morning?  Don’t forget to check the drip tray.  The more coffee gets down there and sits the grosser it can become.  Be sure to not only dump the liquid out frequently, but also give that tray a thorough cleaning as well.  

So there you have it.  You can now celebrate not only a clean house but make a smoothie, toast bread,  and make coffee in the morning knowing that it's with a clean machine.  Next time you clean be on the lookout for those areas easily missed and if you ever have a fire a professional content company will make sure that each area is cleaned of smoke and soot so that you are assured that it’s safe to use again.
