It’s easy to ignore small cleaning tasks, until something breaks or starts to smell! My weekday cleaning routine may have gone viral (it’s in the Tidy Toolkit), but these quick monthly tasks also keep our home and appliances running smoothly. In this episode of Tidy Tidbits, I’m sharing five cleaning tasks I tackle every month.

We’ll cover seeming simple routines that are easy to neglect, like descaling your coffee machine, deep-cleaning the dishwasher, washing machine, and dryer, and cleaning your toilet tank. These tasks take just minutes to complete but can make a lasting impact. I’ve learned that a few minutes of care now saves hours (and headaches) later.

In this episode you’ll learn:

* Regular maintenance of machines and appliances is crucial.

* Maintaining appliances leads to better efficiency and longevity.

* Simple routines can make a significant difference in home care.
