Cleaning behind your appliances is important for a few reasons:

Improved appliance performance: Dust buildup on vents and coils can make your appliances work harder, leading to higher energy bills and potentially shortening their lifespan.

Better air quality: Dust and debris behind appliances can contribute to allergens and irritants in the air.

Reduced risk of pests: Food crumbs and spills can attract pests like mice and ants.

Mold prevention: Dampness behind appliances can lead to mold growth.

Reduced odors: Food particles and spills can cause unpleasant odors.

While it may not be the most enjoyable chore, cleaning behind your appliances regularly is a good way to maintain a healthy and efficient home. Here's a general guideline:

Fridges: Every 3 months

Stoves: Every 3-6 months, or more often if spills happen

Other appliances: You can usually vacuum the base of these regularly with a crevice tool.
