Regular cleaning, using appropriate products, and avoiding harsh chemicals help maintain the appearance of refinished appliances.

While refinishing your appliances can make them look fresh, you may prefer to keep their original coatings as long as possible. The best way to maintain your appliances’ appearance is to keep them clean. You can do this by:

• Wiping up messes and spills on appliances as soon as possible.

• Avoid using harsh cleaners or abrasive cleaning tools.

• Handling objects with care near appliances to avoid scratching or denting them.

It depends. Use the “50% rule” to help you decide. For example, you should consider replacing the appliance if it is halfway through its lifespan and the repair will cost more than 50% of the price of a new one. Contrary to popular belief, repairing a major appliance is more wallet-friendly than purchasing a new one. While the cost of new home appliances can run as high as $8,000, the average cost to repair them is $170. If the appliance you’re trying to get rid of isn’t too old, consult a local appliance repair expert to see what can be done to restore it.
