Regular cleanings with soap and water can leave behind streaks and hard water spots. To keep your black glass stovetop shiny, keep a spray bottle filled with a 1:1 solution of vinegar and water. Spray the surface with this solution after every cleaning session and wipe clean with a dry microfiber cloth.

If your old washer and dryer are still in working condition and you have space for an additional hook-up, you may be able to use them for things you don’t want in your household laundry, like heavily soiled work clothes. If the appliances no longer work, some parts may be salvageable for scrap—contact a scrap collector to see if they’ll take them.

It’s usually more affordable to repair small appliances than replace them, with the average repair cost of $150 and the average replacement cost around $300. Of course, these prices vary depending on the type of small appliance, the brand, and its age. If you know your appliance is high-quality, it may be best to pay for a repair. However, if your appliance is nearing the end of its useful life anyway, it might be more cost-effective to replace it. A professional appliance tech could help you decide what’s best.

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.
