Shine 'Er Up: Make An Old Appliance Showroom New

For most working and middle-class families, money is a finite resource. Limited resources do not limit the need to update some household appliances. If your old, white appliances are starting to look a little run down, there are ways to spruce them up without having the hefty bill of purchasing a new appliance. Here are some steps to making your old appliance look showroom new.

Clean out the appliance

Sometimes, all the appliance needs is a little bit of cleaning to look and run better. Most kitchen appliances, such as the refrigerator, freezer, and dishwasher, will be run every single day. With a lot of work needs to come a lot of maintenance. Clean your appliance from inside out to make it run better and gleam a little bit more.

For large appliances, remember to check the hoses and clean the area around the appliances as well. Making sure that the refrigerator hose is running appropriately, and moving the machine to clean around it can help keep it in top condition for much longer than a neglected machine.

Take it to an appliance repair shop

An appliance repair service can give your older machine a tune up that will give the machine a little more spark. If your appliance is having issues running like it used to, appliance repair may be able to intervene and add years to your machine. Be sure to listen to the instructions of appliance repair professionals on how to keep your machine running on a longer lifespan.

Purchase stainless steel contact paper

If you really want to get the upgraded appliance exterior for a fraction of the cost, consider investing in stainless steel contact paper. The stainless steel paper is created as an adhesive to your appliances' exterior. The paper is as shiny as typical stainless steel and gives the same feeling upon first touch. This durable paper can be applied to your refrigerator, dishwasher, and more in order to give the appliance the stainless steel look. Remember to apply your paper carefully in order to give the appliance an authentic stainless steel look.

Shining up an appliance and making it look showroom new will take a little bit of elbow grease, but will leave a lot more money in your appliance. Performing maintenance for upgrading your appliance will keep it running until you are in the position to upgrade the appliance at your leisure.
