Back-to-School Cleaning: How to Prep Your House for Fall

Before the backpacks pile up, give your home the reset it needs—starting with air filters, fridges, and family routines.

As the final days of summer fade, August quietly offers something most people overlook: a golden window to reset the home before school-year routines take over. Unlike the frenzy of July vacations or the packed schedule of September, August sits in a sweet spot—a time when the house is (hopefully) calmer, and routines are ripe for a thoughtful refresh. Whether it's deep-cleaning forgotten appliances or setting up smarter systems for school success, an August reset is one of the most powerful things you can do for your home.

Why August Matters

Summer leaves its mark on every corner of the house. From the buildup of dust and allergens to overused appliances and cluttered pantries, it's easy for the home to slip into disarray. Add in Miami-style humidity or heavy AC usage, and you're looking at dust circulation, stale air, and stressed-out appliances. Resetting your space in August helps prevent the backslide into chaos once the school year kicks off.

But there’s another compelling reason: appliance technicians and home service providers often have more availability in August. Beat the September rush by handling your tune-ups and deep cleans now—your future self (and your dishwasher) will thank you.

Start With the Air You Breathe

Air quality plays a quiet but critical role in how we feel at home. As we prepare to spend more time indoors, this is the moment to swap out HVAC filters, dust vents and fans, and clean purifier units if you have them. In homes with allergy sufferers, an August reset can ease the transition into fall by removing dust mites, mold spores, and other irritants.

Pro tip: Even opening windows for cross-ventilation during early morning or late evening hours can help flush out stale air and reduce indoor pollutants.

Quick Appliance Wins With Big Payoffs

Before routines shift and time disappears, take advantage of August's relative calm to give your appliances a little love:

  • Refrigerator coils and shelves: Pull the fridge out, vacuum the coils, and wipe down shelves. This improves efficiency and keeps food fresher.

  • Washer gaskets and detergent drawers: Clean away detergent residue and check for trapped moisture to prevent mold and odors.

  • Dishwasher filters: Rinse or scrub them clean so you don't start the school year with underperforming wash cycles.

  • Microwave and oven vents: Degrease these now, before school lunch reheating becomes a daily routine.

  • Dryer lint traps and vents: A deeper clean here helps prevent fire hazards and keeps laundry day moving.

Each of these small tasks helps extend the life of your appliances and ensures they’re working at peak performance—critical when you're packing lunches, washing uniforms, and microwaving leftovers on repeat.

Refresh the Kitchen Command Center

Your kitchen is about to get busier. Start by organizing the refrigerator and pantry: toss expired goods, wipe shelves, and group snacks or lunch items together. Designate a section for school-day essentials like reusable containers, napkins, and water bottles.

Now’s the time to set up a lunch-packing station. Use a drawer or small bin to corral bento boxes, thermoses, and prep tools. Prepping even small components the night before (like snacks or fruit) can turn hectic mornings into manageable ones.

Organize Smartly for the School Year

The shift from summer to school isn’t just about schedules—it's a shift in how the whole house functions. Designating drop zones for backpacks, lunchboxes, and sports gear helps contain daily clutter and makes mornings smoother. Even simple additions like hooks or labeled bins can work wonders.

Involve the kids: Let them choose their own drawer or shelf to manage, and assign age-appropriate chores tied to their school responsibilities. If they clean up after snack time or help reset the kitchen at night, it builds habits that benefit everyone.

Also consider how homework will happen. If you don’t have a dedicated space, turn part of a dining table or kitchen counter into a clutter-free homework zone. Clear away distractions, and stock it with supplies so no one has to go hunting for pencils at 8 p.m.

Don’t Skip the Laundry Zone

School season means more laundry: sports gear, uniforms, extra outfit changes. Take time in August to clean your washer and dryer thoroughly—including gaskets, detergent dispensers, and lint screens. If it’s safe, pull the units out and clean behind and beneath them. This is also the moment to reorganize shelves or cabinets in your laundry area for quicker access to stain removers or dryer sheets.

If space allows, add a folding station or simply clear off an area for sorting clean clothes. Streamlining laundry now can help prevent pileups later.

Schedule That Service Call Now

Need a professional tune-up or a deep clean you can’t tackle solo? August is the month to book it. Once the school year starts, everyone’s calendars tighten—including home service pros. Whether it’s a full duct cleaning, a carpet refresh, or a technician visit for your washer or AC, getting it scheduled now ensures your home is running smoothly before it matters most.

Make the Most of the Reset

Even just a few intentional updates can make a major difference in how your home functions once life speeds up again. The key is to tackle what matters most to your household: cleaner air, more efficient appliances, a more functional kitchen, or a smoother morning routine.

Think of your August home reset as laying the groundwork for a healthier, calmer school year—one where the fridge is clean, the laundry isn’t backing up, and everyone knows exactly where their backpack goes.

Because once that first school bell rings, it’s game on.

Cleaning Confessions: The Myths Social Media Won’t Stop Spreading

The top 10 cleaning myths that get likes online—and cost you in real life.

Cleaning TikTok is the new HGTV—except instead of qualified professionals, you’ve got someone in pajamas pouring six cleaners into a toilet while narrating in a soothing voice. It's satisfying to watch. Sometimes it's even helpful. But most of the time? It's a fast track to ruined appliances, wrecked finishes, and chemical reactions your lungs did not sign up for.

Let’s break down 10 of the most popular viral cleaning myths—and why they’re more dangerous than helpful. Bonus: you’ll get the truth from actual experts (not just someone with good lighting and a pot lid).




1. Product Overload = Peak Clean? Not Even Close.

The Trend: TikTok’s #ProductOverload tag shows creators dumping entire bottles of cleaner into sinks, bathtubs, and toilets. It’s like a chemical ASMR video—and it gets millions of views.

The Truth: You know what too much product leaves behind? A sticky, filmy mess. “Using too much cleaning product can leave residue or build-up on your household surfaces, which in turn can attract more dirt,” explains Carylanne Brown, senior Grove guide at Grove Collaborative.

More product doesn’t mean more clean. It just means more mess (and possibly, more damage).


2. The Bleach + Vinegar Combo: Toxic, Not Clever

Courtesy of Anna

The Trend: Combine bleach with vinegar and get an “ultra-disinfecting” cleaner. Boom. Insta-ready.

The Truth: Please don’t. Mixing these two creates chlorine gas, which is extremely dangerous. You’ll go from “sparkling clean” to “call Poison Control” real fast.




3. Baking Soda + Vinegar: Not the Dynamic Duo You Think

The Trend: Dump baking soda and vinegar into your sink or toilet and watch the volcano fizz. So satisfying, right?

The Truth: It’s fun, sure—but not effective. The fizzing reaction neutralizes both ingredients, leaving you with salty water and zero cleaning power. “The chemical reaction is largely cosmetic,” says basically every chemist, ever.



4. Bleach-Soaked Toilet Paper on Grout = Cracked Tile

Courtesy of Brett Hondow

The Trend: Drench paper towels in bleach, line them up along grimy grout, and wait overnight.

The Truth: You’ll get some whitening… and possibly crumbling grout, damaged tile, or a hefty repair bill. Bleach is far too harsh for most porous surfaces. Skip the science fair.




5. Bleach + Dish Soap in the Drain: What Could Go Wrong?

The Trend: TikTokers pour bleach and dish soap into drains for a “deep clean.” Spoiler: it’s chaos in a cup.

The Truth: Some dish soaps contain ammonia. Mixed with bleach, that can produce chloramine gas, another respiratory hazard. Your lungs would rather you didn’t.



6. Magic Erasers on Leather and Car Interiors? Hard Pass.

The Trend: Scrub your leather seats or vinyl panels with a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser for a fresh-car finish.

The Truth: Magic Erasers are micro-abrasive. They can strip finishes, scratch surfaces, and cause discoloration. Great for walls. Not for your ride.



7. Mopping the Walls with Detergent Pods

Courtesy of Michal Jarmoluk

The Trend: Boil a detergent pod, dunk a mop head, and swipe your walls for that "hotel clean" look.

The Truth: Just… why? This can damage paint, oversaturate drywall, and leave behind residue that attracts even more grime. Use a damp cloth and mild soap instead. Or better yet, read your paint can, as not all paints are even meant to be washed.






8. The Tide Pod Couch Scrubber

The Trend: Wrap a microfiber towel around a pot lid, dunk it in Tide and hot water, and “shave” your upholstery with it.

The Truth: This one looks effective— but, those tide pods are meant to be diluted with gallons and gallons of water. Not a single pot. So, that means that the chemicals in the detergent aren’t getting properly washed out of your couch. Between that and the potential to damage your skin if not diluted properly, just skip this one.  If you wouldn’t wash your sofa with a garden hose, don’t do this either.







9. Ice Cubes in the Garbage Disposal (with Baking Soda + Vinegar)

Courtesy of Sebastian Nikiel

The Trend: Dump ice, baking soda, and vinegar down the disposal to sharpen blades and clean it out.

The Truth: Ice doesn’t sharpen blades—it can jam or crack them. And again with the baking soda and vinegar combo—it’s mostly for show. Stick with a cleaner designed for disposals and rinse with hot water.


10. Self-Cleaning Appliances Take Care of Themselves

The Trend: “It has a self-cleaning button. That means I never have to touch it again!”

(Insert sad appliance noises here.)

The Truth: Dishwashers, ovens, washing machines—even vacuums—need regular manual cleaning. Filters, vents, seals, and gaskets don’t magically clean themselves. Appliances need regular maintenance to perform properly, as we often point out.




It’s tempting to trust the viral cleaning videos—fast, flashy, and seemingly effective. But a little bit of bleach foam and a camera angle doesn’t equal a clean, healthy home. Use the right products, in the right quantities, and clean the way your appliance manuals (and lungs) would prefer.

And if you’re not sure what’s safe for your fridge coils, oven vents, or washer drum? That’s what we’re here for.



If you're in the Frisco–Dallas–Allen area, Appliance Rescue Service is just a call away. We’ll keep your machines humming, your home sparkling, and your lungs chemical-free.

Common Appliance Issues That Could Ruin Your Holiday – And How to Prevent Them

Are Your Appliance Habits Hurting Your Home? Take the Quiz to Find Out

These simple mistakes could be shortening the life of your appliances.

What happens when you do something day after day? It becomes a habit. What happens when that habit isn’t good for you? It leads to problems. The same can be said for your appliances. The same way that habits can be bad for you, they can be harmful to your appliances too. But lists are boring, so we’re doing a quiz this week. For each question you have two options, and they’ll pop open with an answer once you click. Let us know in the comments on Facebook how you do!

Should You Overstock Your Refrigerator to Keep More Food Handy?

True

False

Overstocking your fridge might seem like a good idea now when you have lots of food, but it’s not a great idea when that food goes bad. When you overstock your fridge, air can’t move around, which means your fridge works harder to cool off.

Is Routinely Cleaning Your Condenser Coils Important?

True

If your condenser coils are allowed to crust over with dust and grime, your fridge chokes. It can’t breathe and it has to work harder to cool off.

False

Forgetting to Clean the Water Filter is Not a Big Deal

True

False

Just like the condenser coils, letting the filter fill with grime means your fridge is working harder than it needs to. Additionally, it means that you will be drinking that grime in either your water or ice.

You Can Clean Your Fridge on an “As Needed” Basis and Be Fine

True

False

It depends on how often ‘as needed’ is for you. If that’s about every two - four weeks, sure! If it’s more than that? Not so much. Keeping your fridge clean inside and out allows it to function more efficiently and to ensure that your food stays good.

There is No “Proper” Way to Store Food

True

False

Yeah, that one is definitely false. Food has two different things that you need to account for when it comes to storage. The first is having your fridge and freezer at the right temperatures. The second is following a food safe storage set up, to ensure that you and your family stay healthy.

Door Seals Can Go Bad

True

If you chose this, you’re right! Door seals can crack, crumble and rot if not cared for. This means that you need to look after them and keep them clean.

False

You Only Need to Clean Your Oven Once in a While

True

False

Oh so false. Think about how air has to circulate around your fridge, and it struggles if the fridge isn’t clean. The oven struggles with the same thing. What’s worse though is that this uneven heating causes the oven to cook unevenly. Additionally if not clean, your oven has to burn off whatever is on it.

More Detergent Is Better in the Dishwasher, right?

True

False

Have you seen those photos of soap bubbles filling a kitchen? That’s what happens you overfill the dishwasher.

Emptying Your Pockets Isn’t Actually Needed

True

False

If you don’t empty your pockets before washing clothes, metal items like coins and clips can damage the coating on the inside of your washer.

Is There Such a Thing as Too Much Detergent for Your Washer?

True

Yup! Just like your dishwasher, you can use too much detergent. Not only do you have the possibility of having soapsuds everywhere, you also have to worry about build up if the washer cannot rinse all of it.

False

Cleaning Out the Lint Trap Every 6 Months is Often Enough

True

False

Sure, if you only use your dryer every 5 months, that would be ok. The lint trap should be cleaned out at the very least once a week, if not every time you use it. The lint trap not only is a potential for fire, but if it’s not cleaned out regularly, it also worsens how the dryer works.

You Should Wash Rubber Backed Mats on Cold

True

If rubber backed mats are washed on hot, they will very quickly start to break down and break apart in your washer and dryer.

False

Filling Your Dishwasher to the Max is Normal

True

False

This is one of the times when less is more. If you fill your dishwasher to roughly ¾ of the way full every time, your dishwasher will last longer than if you overfilled it.

You Can Skip Regular Maintenance Because ‘It’s working fine!”

True

False

Regular maintenance is called ‘maintenance’ for a reason. When problems are left though, it is far more likely that they grow from small issues to large problems.

It’s Fine to Throw Out Manuals For New Appliances

True

False

We’ll say that this one CAN be true, if you have a backup or a digital version. However, if you don’t, then you shouldn’t throw yours out. If you need to look something up, if you end up getting an error code, you’ll want that manual.

Leaving Your Oven On for Hours Is A Great Way to Stay Warm

True

False

It might be good for warmth, but it’s going to be bad for your oven and your electrical bill. On top of that

Slamming Appliance Doors - it’s fine, right?

True

False

Your refrigerator is not like your car. Nor are any of your other appliances. They are all carefully tuned and weighted to shut carefully. Slamming them can actually damage not only the door, but the seals as well, and possibly knock some of the interior pieces out of alignment.

Even the most careful appliance owners can miss a step now and then — but the good news is, it’s never too late to get back on track. If your fridge, oven, washer, or any other appliance isn’t running quite right, the team at Appliance Rescue Service is here to help. We offer expert maintenance and repairs for homeowners in the Frisco, Allen, and greater Dallas area.

How Texas Heat Affects Your Appliances (and What You Can Do About It)

Texas heat doesn’t just wear you down—it wears out your appliances. Here’s how to protect your home and keep things cool when the temperature climbs.


Summertime in Texas is dreadfully hot, isn’t it?
As anyone who has heard of or has been living in the state knows by now, Texas summers are not to be trifled with - blistering heat across the entire state, some areas getting so humid that your sweat doesn’t even do anything to cool you down, and a desperate need for something to stay cool. However, what people will sometimes forget to consider is how this affects their appliances at home. What about that amazing HVAC unit that keeps your house nice and cool as a bastion against the burning sun? What about your refrigerator and freezer, keeping food from spoiling in the oppressive heat? Even your home itself is hit, with things like energy bills coming in hard during the summer - and the power grid has to try to keep up while suffering the same temperatures. Today, we’ll be taking a look at what you can expect from your home during the summertime, how the house and appliances are affected, and what you can do to avoid some of the biggest issues when the temperatures are high.




Power Grid and Demand

Courtesy of F. Muhammad


Before we get into the nitty-gritty of individual appliances, let’s do a quick overview of something important: The power grid. Now, Texas has been experiencing extreme heat since time immemorial, so they’ve gotten pretty good at building a grid that can stand up to the demand, even during the summer - but it isn’t infallible. What you have to remember is that, during the summer, everyone with some sense is going to be seeking out refuge from the heat. This means higher demand from every household running their HVAC units at full blast. This demand turns into stress on the power grid, and makes risks of failures and outages higher. Substations trip safeties, transformers blow, and next thing you know, you’re trying to buy a bag of ice to keep your freezer cool while waiting on the electric company to come out and fix it. Throughout the rest of this article, alongside our advice to keep things running, we’re going to cover ways to reduce your power demand at home - not just for your bill, but also to help reduce that stress on the grid just a little, so you’re not left stranded with no power during a triple-digit day.


HVAC and Air Conditioning


First up, the all-too-important HVAC unit. Your air conditioner is going to be doing a lot of work during the summer, and that’s going to have it under some stress. The main problem areas for air conditioners come from overheating, demanding lower temperatures than it can manage, age of the unit, or poor upkeep on regular maintenance items. Let’s tackle these in order, shall we?


- Overheating - Your air conditioner cools things by transferring heat out of the system with a refrigerant, cooling down the air that it sends into your house, and letting the warm refrigerant flow through a heat exchanger to dump the excess heat outside. Because some part of your HVAC unit is always outside, it’s trying to dump that heat into already hot air. So, to fix this: Consider raising the temperature inside a little so it has to move less heat outside, and, if you have a window unit, try to put it in a window where it will be satisfying the most need while being exposed to the sun the least. If the window has shade, put the A/C there to help it do its job!

- Demanding lower temperatures - An A/C unit can only do so much when it’s hot outside. Sometimes, if you set the temperature on your air conditioning too low, all you end up doing is giving it an impossible task, and it struggles to keep up. This can wear down your unit, causing damage from overworking it. Sadly, the only real way to prevent this issue is to turn it up to somewhere it can manage without having to run every single hour of the day.


- Age of the unit - Just like all appliances, your air conditioner won’t work as well when it’s several years old. Generally, if your A/C unit is ten years or older, you may have to go into the market for a new one.


- Poor upkeep - Alright, no judgement here, when was the last time you checked the air filter on your A/C? Be honest with yourself. Small maintenance items mentioned in the user manual are important to keep the A/C from getting damaged. Give it a once over, check things like the filters and any exposed hoses or lines, to make sure it’s all in good working order before it decides to let you know in a more catastrophic way. This will also make it run more efficiently, driving down your energy bills!



Refrigerator and Freezer



Next up, we’re gonna tackle the refrigerator and freezer together, since their issues and methods of care are pretty similar. Fact of the matter is, keeping cold things cold is more important during the summer than any other time of the year - no one likes to come home to all their food spoiled. So, we’ve got some bits of advice to help you keep these appliances in good working order during the summertime!


- Keep it clean - Keeping your refrigerator and freezer free of excess debris, and keeping the seals clean - as well as the area around them - lets them more easily keep cold air sealed in and transfer hot air off the condenser. Give the area a good cleaning to make sure they can breathe right!


- Check for icing - This may seem counterintuitive, but if there’s ice buildup in or on your refrigerator or freezer, make sure to clear it out! Ice buildup can cause component issues, highlight areas of poor airflow, or indicate an existing problem with moisture buildup in the unit. Make sure to check for ice, clear it out when you see it, and note it down in case it’s a recurring problem - you may need to give an appliance repair call to diagnose the real issue.


- Check for even cooling - If you’ve got a spot in your fridge or freezer that seems to be warmer or colder than the rest, get a hold of an appliance tech. Uneven cooling can indicate a host of issues, from poor seals, all the way up to blockages in the cooling system. These things can be a serious problem for your appliance when it’s already working overdrive in the summer.


- Only open when you need - This one may seem obvious, but make sure you’re only opening your fridge and freezer when you need to, and don’t leave them open too long. Letting hot air in makes your appliance work even harder to stay cool, and worse yet, it lets in moisture that causes the icing issues talked about above. Only when you need, only as long as you need, and it’ll help it to work a lot better!

So, there are our tips for keeping your home and appliances in good working order this summer, especially the important ones that keep things cool against the hot Texas sun. Summertime is always rough on the house, but hopefully, you can keep it from being any worse than it needs to be by taking good care of things at home. If you have any issues with your appliances, our skilled technicians can come over and take a look to keep them running and keep the sweat off your brow!

Appliance Red Flags: What Strange Noises, Smells, and Sounds Are Trying to Tell You

A practical homeowner’s guide to what's normal—and what’s not—when it comes to appliance noise.

Let’s be honest—most of us don’t give our appliances much thought until they stop working altogether. But what if they’ve actually been dropping hints all along? Clanks in the laundry room, buzzes in the kitchen, and even subtle hisses can be signs that something’s not quite right.

Think of it as appliance whispering. By learning to listen for what’s normal—and what definitely isn’t—you can stop small issues from snowballing into big, expensive repairs. Below, we break down the sounds and smells your appliances might be using to ask for a little TLC.

Refrigerator Noises

What’s Normal

A well-running fridge doesn’t sound like a library. Expect a low, steady hum as the compressor kicks in, a soft click when the defrost cycle starts, and an occasional gurgle or hiss from the refrigerant doing its job. If your ice maker is active, you’ll also hear periodic buzzing as it fills.

What’s Worrisome

If the usual hum turns into more of a growl, or the buzz starts sounding like a bee on a mission, your fridge could be working overtime. Repeated clicking might mean the defrost system is glitching, and constant gurgling might hint at a refrigerant issue that’s worth watching.

What’s a Red Flag

Courtesty USDA.

Hear a grinding sound? That could be ice building up near the evaporator fan. A rattling noise might mean the condenser fan or compressor is loose—or on its way out. And a squeal coming from behind the fridge? That’s your cue to call a technician, stat.











Freezer Noises

What’s Normal

Expect a quiet whir as fans circulate cold air, along with the occasional pop or crack as the interior expands and contracts with temperature changes. Soft hissing or gurgling from the refrigerant is also totally normal.

What’s Worrisome

If your freezer sounds like it’s trying too hard—loud clicking, persistent buzzing, or a whine—something may be stressing the motor or fan. These aren’t full-blown emergencies, but they do deserve a closer look.

What’s a Red Flag

Sharp squealing often means a fan motor is giving out. Grinding could mean something’s stuck or broken inside. And any hissing accompanied by reduced cooling could be a refrigerant leak, which calls for professional help.











Dishwasher

What’s Normal

A working dishwasher is a symphony of soft, productive sounds: gentle swishing of water, light clicks as it changes cycles, and a low hum when it drains.

What’s Worrisome

If you hear a grinding or deep humming, it may be debris stuck in the pump—or a pump that’s wearing down. Longer-than-usual cycles can point to a clogged filter or a sensor that's struggling to do its job.

What’s a Red Flag

Pooling water on your floor is never a good sign. Neither is a burning smell, loud clanging, or the kind of rattle that makes you step back mid-load. If your dishes are still dirty after a cycle, that’s another signal your dishwasher is due for a checkup.









Oven / Stove / Range

What’s Normal

Clicking as your gas burner lights is perfectly expected. So is a quiet fan hum during and after cooking—especially with newer convection ovens.

What’s Worrisome

When that clicking doesn’t stop, it’s time to investigate. The igniter may be failing or the burner could be dirty. And if your food is suddenly cooking unevenly, your heating element might be the culprit.

What’s a Red Flag

If you smell gas but nothing’s turned on, stop reading and turn off the main gas valve. Then call your gas company. Other big warnings: buzzing noises, burning smells, or a door that won’t close properly (especially if your oven seems to be struggling to stay hot).







Washing Machine

What’s Normal

Expect a lot of sloshing, a few clicks, and maybe a light thump if the load is slightly off-balance. The hum of the motor and a gurgle as the machine drains are all standard fare.

What’s Worrisome

A loud thump that doesn’t stop could mean a suspension rod is worn out. Grinding might mean something’s stuck between the tubs. And a hissing sound could indicate a leaky water hose.

What’s a Red Flag

Washing machine open with towels inside of it

Courtesy of stevepb

If your washer is screeching, vibrating violently, or leaking, don’t press your luck. Shut it off and take a closer look—or better yet, call someone who can.





Dryer

What’s Normal

You’ll hear a steady whir as the drum turns, a few clicks as the timer advances, and maybe a soft thud when zippers or buttons hit the inside.

What’s Worrisome

If it’s taking multiple cycles to dry your clothes, you might be dealing with a clogged vent or a failing heating element. A new rattle could mean a belt is wearing out or something’s loose inside.

What’s a Red Flag

Courtesy of Planet care

Any kind of burning smell or overheating sensation should be treated seriously—it could be a lint blockage or faulty coil, and that’s a fire risk. If your clothes are coming out scorched, shut it down and unplug it.




The truth is, your appliances are always talking to you. The question is—are you listening? Whether it’s a squeak, a buzz, or a thud, unusual sounds and smells are often your first clue that something’s not quite right. Catching these red flags early means fewer breakdowns, lower repair costs, and way less stress.

And when things go from “huh, that’s weird” to “okay, that’s bad,” Appliance Rescue Service is just a call away. Our expert team can diagnose the issue, make the fix, and get your home back to humming (the normal kind).
