Quiz
Which appliance are you?
Five quick questions. No wrong answers, but there is one right appliance.
Myth or Fact?
Make your call, then swipe for the next one.
Setting your fridge as cold as it goes keeps food fresher.
Around 37 to 40°F in the fridge and 0°F in the freezer is the sweet spot. Colder wastes energy and can freeze your lettuce.
Cleaning the dryer's lint trap after every load is all you need.
Lint also builds up in the vent duct behind the machine. That's what slows drying and creates a fire risk, so it needs cleaning too.
Dirty condenser coils make a refrigerator work harder.
Dust on the coils makes the compressor run longer to shed heat. A quick vacuum a couple times a year helps.
Cramming in one more load saves time.
An overloaded washer cleans worse and puts extra stress on the drum, bearings and suspension.
Running ice through a garbage disposal sharpens the blades.
Disposals use blunt impellers, not blades. Ice can knock some residue loose, but it won't sharpen anything.
A dishwasher works better when you scrape, not rinse.
Modern detergents are designed to cling to food soil. A super-clean plate can make them less effective.
