1 The Coffeemaker.After each use, rinse the pot and filter in warm, soapy water. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. About once a month, mix a cup of water and a cup of white vinegar and run it through the coffeemaker. Follow with a rinse of clear water. 2 The Toaster. Unplug and shake out the crumbs over the trash can. Wipe down the exterior with a damp sponge. Buff dry if needed. 3 Wipe the waffle iron. Skip washing the grids of a non-stick waffle iron. Unnecessary! Instead, simply wipe grids after each use with a paper towel, and toss. If waffles stick to the iron, it probably needs to be seasoned again with vegetable oil. 4 Crumb-free toaster oven. Empty the crumb tray after each use. Scrub racks as needed. Wipe the exterior with a sponge. 5 The electric can opener. Remove the cutting wheels and soak them in warm soapy water for a few minutes. Next, scrub with an old toothbrush. Wipe the rest of the unit clean with a damp sponge. For best results, give your appliances the once-over after each use. Simply wait for it to cool, then unplug and wipe it with a damp cloth. If it's really grungy, wipe with a sponge dipped in soapy water, then rinse-wipe with a wet sponge. Be sure not to immerse any electrical units in water. Use baking soda in water to gently scrub exterior metal surfaces; window washing solution for plastic or enamel ones.
