Appliances that are smudge-proof stainless steel have a protective clear coating that makes them smudge-proof. Unfortunately, you can’t truly remove a scratch on this surface without also removing that special coating. Your best bet is to let the scratch be or protect it with a small dab of clear nail polish. 

You can risk the option of buffing out the scratches, and be very diligent in coating the area you buffed with oil to reduce the dullness. Just know that if you choose to buff it out, there’s a possibility that the spot won’t look the same as the rest of the appliance.

Most microwaves last for around eight years; lower-end units may last as few as five, while higher-end microwaves could continue to work for ten or more years. A few factors will affect the lifespan of your small appliance:

• How many people in your home use the appliance

• How often you use the microwave

• Brand and quality

• Whether or not you maintain it properly

• Style of microwave

• Professional or DIY installation

Cabinetry is usually the most expensive part of a kitchen remodel, frequently making up 30% to 40% of the overall costs. Cabinets require a lot of materials and are time-consuming to install. However, you can save significantly by refinishing or refacing existing dated cabinets that are still in good working order. Appliances, countertops, and flooring are the other costly elements to budget for. 

Taking good care of your TV is a great way to help avoid costly repairs. Some ways to care for your TV include:

• Cleaning your TV regularly by dust monthly.

• Use a microfiber cloth and TV screen-cleaning spray to clean the screen.

• Don’t leave static images on your TV screen, which could cause pixel damage.

• Check HDMI and other cable connections monthly. 

• Allow plenty of space around the TV for ventilation.

• Decide on a location not directly in front of a light source, like a window.

• Always power off your TV when not in use.
