Tips to prolong the useful life of the main appliances in your tourist apartment

Many times household appliances stop working because they do not receive proper maintenance, or perhaps they are not used properly. It is common for property owners not to know how to care for their main appliances, nor do they have any idea how to replace them. For this reason, it is useful to know how to extend their useful life.

Follow the instructions in the manual

It may be obvious, but it is advice that we often overlook. Most appliances have a manual that details the best ways to care for and use them. If you have purchased a used appliance without a manual, you may be able to call the customer service department to request one. Even better, there are many instruction manuals available online for free. You can search on the manufacturer's website; if you can't find it, try searching the entire internet for the specific product name and model.

Use proper cleaning methods

Many appliances, such as washing machines and dishwashers, can be damaged if cleaned with the wrong soap or incorrect cleaning methods are used. For example, using detergent or some other unsuitable product to wash clothes in a washing machine can damage the engine. Do not use any cleaning solution to clean your appliances, as there are some chemicals and mixtures made specifically for certain products. In many cases, you can find usage tips and instructions for proper cleaning in the instruction manual.

Pay attention to the appliance's warnings

All major appliances have warnings somewhere indicating what not to do. Maybe the light in your fridge isn't working properly, or maybe the vacuum cleaner isn't sucking like it used to. Some devices have lights that serve as indicators when something is failing or need routine maintenance. It's essential to pay attention to the signals the device emits when there's a problem, as you can be safer and save money. Many instruction manuals include instructions for resolving specific issues that owners may have with a particular device. When you have a problem, it's best to consult the manual.

Trust the professionals before fixing it yourself

When the budget is tight and there's little time, it can be tempting to fix it yourself. While you might be able to fix a simple issue, you should let the professionals near your area handle the more complex problems, for your safety. When all is said and done, they have the experience and the right tools to fix the problem in the best way possible.

Repair or replace

Often, replacing a major appliance instead of repairing it can be more cost-effective. Before making a decision, consider the age of the appliance, its remaining useful life, its functionality, and the warranty specifications. If the warranty is still valid, it's best to repair it. It's also a good idea to purchase a new appliance if you see that no matter how much you repair it, problems with the device continue.

Smart locks

We recommend purchasing a smart lock to control access to your home and open doors remotely. It allows you to save time on travel and money on making key copies. Additionally, during the Covid-19 pandemic, it's the perfect solution. Raixer electronic lock is very easy to install. You can find the manual on our website.
